Rothamsted International Fellowships for Developing Countries
Rothamsted International manages two types of Fellowships for scientists to undertake research projects in order to gain advanced training, assist in capacity building and strengthen alliances.
Rothamsted International Fellowships Scheme (RIFS)
These are open to mid-career scientists from any developing or emerging country to undertake projects for 6 to 12 months at Rothamsted Research, UK. This enables them to pursue strategic and applied research, learn new techniques or undertake other studies in the agricultural sciences. The Fellowship scheme is funded entirely by donations including from charitable trusts, foundations and individuals. Since 1993, 125 RI Fellowships have been awarded to scientists from 30 countries.
African Fellows Programme (AFP)
These are open to mid-career scientists from Sub-Saharan African countries to carry-out projects for 4 to 12 months at universities or research institutes across Europe. The programme addresses local agricultural problems and facilitates capacity building and knowledge transfer. The scheme is funded entirely by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and is administered by Rothamsted International. Since 2004, 27 Fellowships have been awarded to scientists from 14 African countries.
