Learning Events Programme for Researchers from Developing Countries, Switzerland

Aims and rationale

Learning events enhance the educational, scientific and training competencies of individual researchers as well as their research institutions. KFPE’s Learning Events Programme supports researchers from developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America involved in research partnerships with a Swiss institution and promotes interdisciplinary and intercultural learning. 

Swiss institutions and/or their partners in developing countries are invited to submit proposals for the learning events. Learning and training content should include soft skills, theories, methods, integrated approaches, thematic specialisations, and inter- and transdisciplinary working methods.

A first call was launched 29 April 2013 with two calls to follow in 2014. A total of CHF 300'000.- are available for the programme.

For the 2013 call, applications may be submitted until 1 June 2013. A decision will be taken within one month after submission.

Eligibility criteria

• Applications must originate from a Swiss research/educational institution or a partner institution in a developing country. Applicants from developing countries must provide a letter of support from the head of the Swiss partner institution. All administrative issues must be coordinated by the Swiss institution (e.g. contract, money transfer, reporting etc.).
• Applications must explicitly focus on learning for researchers from developing countries and promote the exchange between researchers from Switzerland and their partners from developing countries in Africa, Asia or Latin America (least developed, low income as well as lower middle income countries and territories - according to the OECD DAC List).
• Supported researchers must hold a graduate degree (master level), or be PhD students or Post-Docs from Africa, Asia or Latin America.
• Learning events must last from a minimum of 5 days to a maximum of 1 month.
  
  

Expenses covered

• Local costs for participating students and trainers from developing countries (e.g. accommodation, food, excursions, local transport) will be covered by the grant. Travel costs for researchers from developing countries to the learning events are also financed.
• Costs for participating students from Switzerland (e.g. travel, accommodation etc.) have to be borne by the students themselves or their home institution.
• A share of the costs for the preparation and realisation of thelearning events is also covered. As a rule of thumb, costs are covered proportionately to the ratio of participants from developing countries, independent of the location of the learning event (global South or Switzerland).

Application requirements

• Description of the activity (3-5 pages):
  - focus, goals, and target groups of the learning event
  - added value or learning effect for participants
  - number of trainees
  - organisational issues (e.g. involved organisations, responsibilities, etc.)
  - budget summary (including secured third-party funding sources)
  - programme outline;
• Letters of support and/or interest by both a Swiss institution and a partner institution in the global South (max. one page each);
• A short CV of the main applicant, including a list of recent publications; maximum 2 pages in length.
• Detailed budget plan showing other contributions (in-kind or cash) accepted and requests made to other funding organisations.

Upon realisation of the learning event, a fact sheet of 2 pages must be produced for publication on the KFPE website. Learning and teaching materials will be made accessible via the KFPE website where copyright allows.

Applications will be selected for funding by a small committee consisting of KFPE members and a representative of SDC. There is no right to appeal the decision of the committee.

Applications should be submitted electronically to the following address:

Georg Forster Research Award at Humboldt Foundation, Germany

The Georg Forster Research Award is granted in recognition of a researcher's entire achievements to date to academics of all disciplines whose fundamental discoveries, new theories, or insights have had a significant impact on their own discipline and beyond and who are expected to continue developing research-based solutions to the specific challenges facing transition and developing countries.

Nominees must be nationals of a developing or transition country (excluding People's Republic of China and India; cf. detailed list of countries). Furthermore, at the time of nomination, they must have had their main residence and place of work in one of these countries for at least five years.

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation particularly encourages the nomination of qualified female researchers.

The award amount totals EUR 60,000. In Germany, research awards are generally exempt from income tax under German tax law.

In addition, award winners are invited to conduct a research project of their own choosing in Germany in close collaboration with a specialist colleague. The project duration of about six to twelve months may be divided into segments. In addition, further expenditures (such as travel or language courses) are covered in the context of the invitation to stay in Germany for research purposes. To support the collaboration, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation may grant additional funding of up to EUR 25,000, particularly for participating in scientific conferences, additional material resources, e.g., specialist literature and scientific equipment for the nominee’s own institute, as well as for involving junior researchers.

An established academic employed by a university or research institution in Germany must take the initiative to nominate a candidate for the Georg Forster Research Award. Nominations may also be initiated by award winners of the Humboldt Foundation working abroad, provided that the nomination is made jointly with a colleague working in Germany. Self-nomination is not possible.

In 2013, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is granting up to four Georg Forster Research Awards.

Requirements:

1. The nominee must be recognised internationally as an outstandingly qualified academic (e.g. awards, positive responses to publications, etc.).
2. The nominee's future perspectives must indicate that she/he will continue to be an active, academically influential researcher in the coming years with relevance to the development of the nominee's own county.
3. The nominee must be exceptionally qualified to continue developing research-based solutions to the specific challenges facing transition and developing countries.
4. The nominee must be a national of a developing or transition country (excluding People's Republic of China and India; cf. detailed list of countries). At the time of nomination, he or she must have had his or her main residence and place of work in one of these countries for at least five years.;
5. Detailed expert opinion (laudation) by an academic working at a research institution in Germany who would like to invite the nominee to spend time researching in Germany.
6. Two expert reviews by important international academics and one from a German scientist/scholar;
7. The Humboldt Foundation assumes that candidates will abide by the Rules of Good Scientific Practice during the application and sponsorship periods.

Nominations should be sent to the following address by 15 May 2013:
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Selection Department,
Jean-Paul-Str. 12, 53173 Bonn, Germany

The selection meeting is scheduled for autumn.

It is the nominator's responsibility to ensure that he or she has submitted all the necessary documents. Nominations not submitted as a single entity will take longer to process. The documents required in addition to the nomination documents, i.e. the confidential statements by the expert reviewers, can be submitted to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation directly, at the same time as the nomination. Subsequently, independent peer reviewers assess the nominations.

An independent Selection Committee composed of academics from all disciplines makes the final decision on the nominations received. The Selection Committee makes its decision solely on the basis of the nominees' academic qualifications and the relevance of their research to the development of their own countries.
Nominees will be notified about the Selection Committee's decision immediately after the meeting.
