TWAS-UNESCO Associateship Scheme 2024/2025
The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) and UNESCO invite applications for the Joint Associateship Scheme. This program supports talented researchers from developing countries, enabling them to collaborate with renowned centres of excellence in the Global South.
Selected associates will receive a three-year appointment, with opportunities for two research visits to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing.
In 1994, in cooperation with UNESCO, TWAS instituted an Associateship Scheme to help counteract the brain drain affecting many developing countries. The programme supports regular visits by researchers from developing countries to centres of excellence in the South. Almost 300 centres of excellence in the South have agreed to participate in the programme.
