OWSD PhD Fellowships Fully Funded For Women Come From Developing Countries

The Fellowship is offered to women scientists from science- and technology-lagging countries (STLCs)to undertake PhD research in the natural, engineering and information technology sciences at a host institute in another developing country in the Global South.

The next call for applications will open on 3 February 2020.

Please note that an applicant, at the time of application, must NOT have an active research grant or fellowship with The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) or have already submitted an application for a TWAS programme within the same given year. Only one application per year is possible across all TWAS and OWSD programmes. Applicants will not be eligible to visit another institution in that year under the TWAS Visiting Professor programmes.

An exception is made only for the head of an institution who invites an external scholar to share his/her expertise under the TWAS Visiting Professor programmes; she may still apply for another programme.
