Deadline: October 1, 2022

Applications are open for the Africa Platform of Ghent University Association Short Stay Research Fellowships 2022. As one of the five regional platforms at Ghent University, GAP facilitates and fosters academic collaboration between Ghent University Association and academic institutions in Africa.

The Ghent Africa Platform (GAP) hosts five visiting research fellows every year. Awardees will spend a minimum period of two weeks at Ghent University or one of the associated University Colleges.

The fellowships can be taken up at any time in 2023. Awardees are expected to be present at Ghent University and to take part in the academic activities of the research unit. Visiting scholars will give at least one lecture or seminar to fellow researchers and students. For this reason, awardees are required to have an excellent command of English or French. Five fellowships will be awarded in 2022.

Fellowship

  • The fellowships consist of a grant of €1,000 + one return flight ticket, for a minimum stay of two weeks, which is meant to cover (or contribute towards) travel and accommodation costs and living expenses. This means that matching funding will need to be found in many cases. The visiting scholars will be given an office space and access to facilities (such as the library) as a Ghent University visiting scholar.

Eligibility

  • Open to researchers (junior or senior lecturers & professors) who are affiliated with an African higher education or research institution.
  • A bilateral agreement or memorandum of understanding needs to be in place between Ghent University and the African institution.
  • An excellent command of English or French is required.

Selection Criteria

The following criteria will be taken into account in the selection procedure:

  • The candidate’s profile, such as CV and scientific achievements: 25%
  • The motivation, feasibility and academic quality of the research plan: 25%
  • Added value/sustainability (impact of the research stay on future departmental and institutional collaboration) – decisive criterion: 50%

Application

Your application should be in English or French, the application form includes the following sections:

  • Personal information;
  • A cover letter in which you indicate: the period of your visit, the research group you would like to be affiliated with, and a motivation as to how your current and future research at your home university will benefit from a research stay at Ghent;
  • A research plan (research objectives, methods and tools, a work plan for the intended visit, possible long-term cooperation plans, etc.);
  • A budget;
  • A list of your three most important publications (optional);
  • Your signature and the signature of the Ghent University promotor. This means that you should already have a Ghent University promotor at the application stage. If you do not at present have links with Ghent University, the online research directory can help you in your search for a promotor. You also need to submit a short motivation statement by the Ghent University promotor;
  • A short CV (max 2 pages) in annex to the application form.

The application should be submitted by email to [email protected] in one PDF file, no later than October 1, 2022. Incomplete or late submissions will not be considered. Each individual can only obtain one grant.
