TWAS Announces New South-South Fellowship Program

TWAS - the academy of sciences for the developing world - has entered into agreements with the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, India, the National Center of Excellence in Molecular Biology (CEMB), Lahore, Pakistan, and the International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences (ICCBS), which includes the H. E. J. Research Institute of Chemistry and the Dr. Panjwani Center for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research, Karachi, Pakistan, to offer a number of postgraduate and post doctoral fellowships to young scientists from developing countries.

These three new programs complement TWAS’s current South-South fellowship program, which already provides for fellowships to be undertaken in the laboratories of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in India, as well as the Department of Biotechnology in the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology (DBT) and the S. N. Bose National Center for Basic Sciences.

In addition, under a similar agreement with TWAS, institutions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) offer fellowships.
TWAS also partners with the National Council for Scientific and technological Development (CNPq) to provide fellowships in Brazil.

Together, these various schemes make TWAS’s South-South fellowship program the largest in the world.
