| ARISE |
Application Deadline: August 25th 2016
The Africa Regional International Staff/Student Exchange:
Food Security and Sustainable Human Wellbeing (ARISE) is a programme designed
to provide resources and opportunities for student and staff mobility
throughout four regions of Africa, offering support for Masters and Doctoral
studies as well as for shorter research and administrative visits between
consortium partners. ARISE will offer approximately 100 mobility opportunities
in Masters, Doctorate and Staff Mobility Opportunities.
The programme focuses on the fields of Agriculture, Medical
Sciences, Engineering and Energy out of a commitment from the consortium to
develop African capacity in the area of Food Security and Sustainable Human
Well being. This theme was selected in response to the ongoing urgency of
meeting the Millennium Development Goals. Rather than offering a broad spectrum
of qualifications, each partner has carefully selected those within the ARISE
chosen theme.
ARISE plans to foster closer cooperation between consortium
members in various fields, and provide training and development opportunities
to members through conferences and meetings. These will increase expertise
across all consortium partners in the internationalisation of higher education.
These multiplier effects will outlive the duration of the ARISE programme and
position participants for ongoing success and engagement in similar future
programmes.
