AIWF is pleased to support the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA) and TWAS Arab Regional Partner (TWAS-AREP) in its call for the World Academy of Sciences for the TWAS Young Affiliates programme. The call is open for brilliant early-career Arab scientists under the age of 40 to become a TWAS Young Affiliate for six years, and is open to women scientists from all Arab countries.
Each year, each of the five TWAS Regional Partners selects up to five brilliant early-career scientists under the age of 40 years to become ‘TWAS Young Affiliates’ for six years. These young scientists join a growing network of the developing world’s most promising scientists. They also receive further opportunities to interact and learn from TWAS Fellows.
During their tenure, Affiliates will be able to participate in a large number of opportunities, such as participating in various events organized by the Arab regional partner of the World Academy of Sciences for Developing Countries (TWAS-AREP) and other events affiliated with the World Academy of Sciences for Developing Countries (TWAS).
This program, which began in 2007, seeks to identify the best young scientists in each region of the developing world and provide them with opportunities to network with one another, with TWAS Fellows, and to attend international conferences and other events for young scientists.
AIWF is pleased to have worked with Bibliotheca Alexandrina a number of times in the past on various conferences and initiatives, and supports this call to identify and nurture the next generation of young Arab women in science.
