ICSU-TWAS-UNESCO Visiting Professorship Programme
Grant
International Council for Science (ICSU) - The Third World Academy of Science (TWAS) - United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
Purpose
To provide developing country institutions and research groups, especially those lacking outside contacts, with the opportunity to establish long-term links with world leaders in science, technology and key areas of environment and development and so help develop capacity-building in their country.
Nature
  1. The Programme is now being conducted within the framework of follow-up to the World Conference on Science held in Budapest, Hungary in 1999, organized jointly by UNESCO and the International Council for Science (ICSU), with the collaboration of TWAS, at which the importance of promoting scientific collaboration with developing countries was underscored.
  2. Within the framework of the Professorship Programme, a number of international experts will be offered visiting professorship appointments to Third World institutions. The appointment will normally be for a period of five years, during which the appointed professor will be expected to visit the host institution at least three times for a minimum stay of one month each time. Visiting Professors and host institutions will be expected to provide comprehensive reports on completion of the visits.
  3. An economy round-trip fare and additional travel expenses of the visiting professor, plus a small honorarium, will be provided by the sponsoring organizations, while the host institution will be expected to cover local expenses.
Agreement
The visiting professor will be expected to interact closely with members of the host institution with the aim of strengthening its existing activities and/or assisting in the establishment of new lines of research. The visiting professor may also be requested to deliver a series of topical lectures and seminars to research students.
Applications
Institutions in developing countries* wishing to be considered for this programme should fill in the relevant request form which can be obtained from the TWAS Secretariat. Information about the subject areas of current interest of the host institution should be provided, and the name of person who might be considered for the appointment. As the programme is striving towards providing equal opportunities, nominations of women will be particularly welcomed. Only persons who have attained international recognition in their fields of science, environment and development will be considered for appointment under this Programme.
Remark *A limited number of Professorships will be made available to institutions in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union which lack contacts with scientists from other parts of the world.
