Student Opportunities
Students are the core of the CHARM-EU initiative. It is made for them, and partially by them, with the constant involvement of a student body in the working groups of the alliance. As part of this endeavour, here you can find opportunities and initiatives available for students.
2024 Internship Programs for Emerging European Scientists
African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD) and Agropolis Fondation are jointly implementing the One Planet Fellowship, a career development initiative targeting scientists working at the nexus of agriculture and climate change. The Fellowship is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and BNP Paribas Foundation with additional support from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the European Union (EU) Commission. The Fellowship seeks to build a vibrant and highly connected network of African and European scientists equipped to lead cutting-edge research and innovation to help a diverse group of men and women smallholder farmers adapt to climate change in Africa.
Who do they look for?
- European scientists (EU nationals), male and female, below 30 years old, ready to work in a multicultural environment.
- European students interested in conducting research in Africa as part of their study programs.
- European Master and PhD students or junior scientists working in various European research institutions and universities. Their focus research areas or study programs should be clearly connected to agriculture, food systems, climate change, and gender.
Deadline: February 8, 2024
