Subject: ICSU/NASAC/ISSC call for pre-proposals: Pathways towards
Sustainable African Urban Development
To: Katsia PAULAVETS <katsia.paulavets at icsu.org>


Dear all,



With this email, I would like to inform you that as part of the 5-year
“Leading Integrated Research for Agenda 2030 in Africa” (LIRA 2030
Africa) programme, the International Council for Science (ICSU), in
partnership with the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) and
the International Social Science Council (ISSC) will support up to 11
collaborative research projects across Africa (to the value of up to
90,000 Euro each over two years) that will that explore integrated
approaches for sustainable urban development in Africa. The programme
is supported generously by the Swedish International Development
Cooperation Agency (Sida).

We are inviting African early career scientists to submit
collaborative research proposals that apply a systems approach to
analyzing urban processes in Africa. These projects are expected to
examine the inherent complexity of cities, to explore the
interconnections, trade-offs and synergies between different
dimensions of urban systems, e.g. governance, human and social
capital, environment, economic systems and infrastructure.

The call for pre-proposals aims to identify collaborative research
projects in Africa that bring together African early career scientists
from different scientific disciplines and key stakeholders (e.g. local
authorities, policy makers, built environment professionals, the
private sector, civil society and citizens) in research co-design and
co-production.

Applicants should have no more than 10 years work experience following
their PhDs or equivalent research experience.

The deadline for pre-proposal submission is 14 May 2018 (18:00 CET).
Submission of pre-proposals and relevant documents may only be made
using the online application form, following instructions provided in
the call for pre-proposals.

More information about call can be found here http://bit.ly/2FeJA4g

We would very much appreciate if you could disseminate the call
through your relevant networks,



Thank you very much,



Best regards



Katsia
