Sponsorship Opportunity

 

UNESCO  2015 Africa Array Geophysics Field School

18 - 27 - July 2015

The African Network of Earth Science Institutions (ANESI) through a UNESCO/Sida funding will be sponsoring participants to the Africa Array International Geophysics Field School. 

They are specifically targeting early career academics who have not had an opportunity to conduct field work and may have equipment they are unsure of how to use.

In order to be considered for sponsorship, you must submit a complete application form, a scan of your passport - which MUST be valid during the time of the field school, list of university courses and marks, a summary of your work experience and a letter of motivation.

 Primary criteria for evaluation will be:

1) Professionalism of the documents (no spelling errors etc.).

2) A letter of motivation detailing how the field school will affect your department i.e. do you have equipment you are not using because you don’t know how to design field surveys?  Do you have a program whereby junior (or senior) staff assist with university teaching and are helping to start a field school?

Only one person from each unit/geological survey/company will generally be accepted, advice of the HOD will be sought as to which applicant will have the most impact on the department.

Application form and advert here.

Deadline 1 May 2015.
