Applications are open for the TWAS Fellowships for Research and Advanced Training 2024/2025. TWAS offers fellowships to young scientists in developing countries to enable them to spend three to 12 months at a research institution in a developing country other than their own. The purpose of these fellowships is to enhance the research capacity of promising scientists, especially those at the beginning of their research career, helping them to foster links for further collaboration. The fellowships are offered for a minimum of three months and a maximum of twelve months.

Fellowship

TWAS covers international low-cost airfare plus a contribution towards subsistence amounting to a maximum of USD $300 per month. No other costs will be provided by TWAS.
The host institution is expected to provide accommodation and food as well as research facilities.

Eligibility

The fellowships are for research and advanced training. They are offered to young scientists holding at least an MSc or equivalent degree.
Eligible applicants for the fellowships are young scientists working in any area of natural sciences who are citizens of a developing country and are employed by a research institution in a developing country.
There is no age limit. However, preference is given to young scientists at the beginning of their research career and those working in Least Developed Countries.
Lists of possible host institutions divided by field are available here. These lists are only a suggestion and institutions that are not included are acceptable as long as they are in a developing country.
Institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China, are not eligible host institutions under this programme. Applicants interested in conducting a fellowship in China are required to check whether their chosen host is a CAS institute. For a complete list of CAS institutes, see: here. Applicants wishing to attend a CAS institute should either apply to the CAS-TWAS President’s Postgraduate Fellowship Programme or consider the CAS Fellowships for Postdoctoral and Visiting Scholars from Developing Countries.
