Africa lays out plan to boost science economy
Pilot European and African Union programme aims to boost early-career researchers with fellowships of up to €500,000
Africa’s latest programme that aims to boost the continent’s science base through investment in early career researchers has just got off the ground.
Last month, 44 early- to mid-career researchers across 38 African countries were awarded five-year fellowships of up to €500,000 (£425,000) each to start their independent research teams and deliver cutting-edge research.
