Applications are open for the OWSD Women in Science Displacement Outreach Masters Scholarships 2024. In the face of ongoing conflicts, violence, human rights violations, and climate change, a significant number of women scientists are forced to leave from their homes and countries. Many of them are not able to resume their studies after experiencing displacement.
The Women in Science Displacement Outreach Master’s Program (OWSD WISDOM) is a new initiative addressing the challenges these women encounter. With the primary goal of empowering women in STEM fields, OWSD WISDOM offers fully-funded master’s degree scholarships to those who have sought refuge due to such adverse circumstances. This program not only ensures that displaced women scientists are able to remain active in their respective scientific fields but also enables them to sustain meaningful scientific careers despite displacement. Istanbul Aydin University and UNESCO OWSD are partnering to offer displaced women fully funded scholarships to help them pursue their education in Masters Program in Türkiye.
If you’re a displaced woman scientist in Türkiye seeking to reignite your academic journey and make a lasting impact in your field, OWSD WISDOM is here to support you every step of the way. Join them in shaping a brighter future for women in science, one scholarship at a time. Generous scholarships for Masters programmes in STEM are available to support you for up to 24 months study at Istanbul Aydin University.
