Funding Opportunities in Africa

There are funds available to support Warwick researchers and staff to collaborate with partner institutions in Africa looking to tackle global challenges.

Stellenbosch-Warwick Joint Seed Fund

The Stellenbosch-Warwick Joint Seed Fund is designed to flexibly support Stellenbosch and Warwick researchers and professional service staff to establish new links and advance existing collaborations, by enabling activities such as:

  • Organisation of virtual, hybrid or in-person workshops, conferences, symposia;
  • Preliminary research, experiments and pilot studies;
  • Meetings to facilitate planning and development of external funding proposals;
  • Reciprocal or non-reciprocal visits to establish new collaborations
