[Ica-osgeo-labs] Researcher Link through NEWTON-MOSHARAFA Fund between UK, South African and Egypt

[Rania Elsayed]

Bilateral workshops between Egyptian and UK researchers. Call for
application is now open until 28 Sept 2015.

This element of the Newton Researcher Links is designed to provide
financial support to bring together a UK/Egypt/South African trilateral
cohort of early career researchers to take part in workshops focussing on
building links for future collaboration and enhancing the researchers’
career opportunities. The programme is supported by UK, Egyptian and South
African government funding and forms part of the Newton Fund
​http://www.britishcouncil.org/education/science/newton

Each workshop will be coordinated by three Leading Researchers[1]
<file:///C:/Users/Dr-Mohamed/Downloads/guidelines_for_trilateral_workshop_grants_call_v1.docx#_ftn1>,
one from each country, and will focus either on a specific research area or
on an interdisciplinary theme (for example ‘Sustainable Cities’). Workshop
coordinators can identify up to three additional Leading or Established
Researchers1(one from each country) to be involved in the workshop and act
as mentors, but the remaining participants must be researchers at an
earlier stage in their career.

Proposals in any discipline/multidisciplinary area will be accepted
(including from the natural sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities).


Workshops may be specific to a particular field of research or
interdisciplinary in nature.

They should focus on one of the following five themes:

·         Water management

·         Healthcare

·         Agriculture/food production

·         Renewable energy

·  Satellites and remote sensing

It is expected that workshops will predominantly take place either in Egypt
or in South Africa.

Workshops should take place between 1stFebruary 2016 and 31stJanuary 2017.

I find this is excellent opportunity to propose a workshop so who
is interest to contribute in this initiative?

<file:///C:/Users/Dr-Mohamed/Downloads/guidelines_for_trilateral_workshop_grants_call_v1.docx#_ftnref1>For
an indication of profiles for the different categories of participants, we
suggest applicants refer to the European Commission document *‘Towards a
European framework for research careers’* (
http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess/pdf/research_policies/Towards_a_European_Framework_for_Research_Careers_final.pdf
).

According to the categories in this document, we would suggest that
coordinators and mentors should be at ‘R4 – Leading Researcher’ level or
‘R3 – Established Researcher’ level, and early career participants at ‘R2
–Recognized Researcher’ level or at the beginning of R3 level.
