[CODATA-international] Fwd: EXTENDED DEADLINE: Call for Nominations for the 2017 TWAS Young Affiliates: Closing on 31 May 2017

Tue May 23 13:00:41 EDT 2017

I am belatedly forwarding the message below, which I overlooked while away at a series of events.

Although the deadline for these nominations is close, it still seemed worth circulating the information.  Please noted the eligibility criteria (countries listed below) and that nominations are invited from TWAS and AAS fellows, Members of National Academies and fellows, Members of  National Young Academies of Science, Research Institutions, Research Councils, Universities, Government entities and other such bodies that have or know this talent in sub-Saharan Africa.

With very best wishes,

Simon.

> TWAS-ROSSA invites you to nominate suitable candidates for the 2017 TWAS Young Affiliates. The honour is given to researchers from developing nations who have at least 10 international publications. The nominees should show potential for a high-impact career. During their five-year tenure, Young Affiliates build networks with other affiliates and with elected TWAS Fellows. They also attend international conferences such as the TWAS General Meeting where they make contributions and are exposed to mentoring as well as collaboration opportunities. The five selected TWAS Young Affiliates will also be part of and work closely with the TWAS Young Affiliates Network (TYAN) which was established in 2016 during the 27th TWAS General Meeting in Kigali, Rwanda. TYAN is anticipated to bring fresh energy to the Academy by creating links among early career scientists and promoting international collaboration.
