Funding Opportunities in Africa
There are funds available to support Warwick researchers collaborate with partner institutions in Africa 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
-
We actively encourage and support projects that contribute to the development of a joint PhD programme, including collaborations between two departments that serve as an initial step towards establishing a joint doctoral programme’
Africa Research Fellowships
The Africa Research Fellowship, hosted by IAS, provides a route for outstanding postdoctoral researchers to visit Warwick and establish connections with academics and departments. The Fellowship programme supports early career researchers in developing an application to an external funding body which could allow them to develop their academic career.
