SICRISA: Fellowships and writing workshops for climate change researchers from South Asia(

Support to Improve Climate Research and Information Services in South Asia (SICRISA)

'Making an impact: Fellowships and writing workshops for climate change researchers from South Asia'

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Climate change researchers from South Asia are invited to apply to participate in a new fellowship programme and/or a residential writing workshop to be held in South Asia in 2012.

Deadline for applications is 21 February 2012 (17.00 Delhi time).

Through fellowships and residential writing workshops, South Asian scientists and social scientists will be trained and supported to:

•           Publish in peer reviewed journals

•           Write for different types of publication aimed at a range of audiences

•           Increase their influence on policy

•           Raise the profile of their research through the media.

HOW TO APPLY

Applications are open to researchers from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan, who are working on any aspect of climate change research. Participants should be early/mid career researchers, although more established researchers may be considered.

Approximately 80 researchers will be selected to participate in fellowships and/or writing workshops. We anticipate that 20 fellowships will be offered, and 15 participants will be selected for each of four writing workshops.

Please note that the writing workshops will be held in English and papers must be written in English.

Candidates will be selected through an application process which is anticipated to be highly competitive. However, unsuccessful candidates will have the opportunity to benefit from online networks and access to guidance materials on the project website.

Please refer to the eligibility criteria set out in the Application Guidelines (pdf) for more information.

Please apply through the online application system. In case of poor internet connectivity, applicants can also download the Application Form (Word doc) and submit it by email to sicrisa@ids.ac.uk or by post to:

The SICRISA, The Energy and Resources Institute, Darbari Seth Block, IHC Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi - 110 003, INDIA

FURTHER INFORMATION

'Support to Improve Climate Research and Information Services in South Asia' (SICRISA) is a two-year project which aims to increase the quality and quantity of climate change research from South Asia. This will be achieved by training and mentoring South Asian scientists through fellowships and four residential writing workshops (writeshops), and by publishing two special editions of journals.

Many key climate change journals feature little research generated locally from countries in the global South. The next Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Reports will be important in understanding climate change, yet there is a danger that there will be inadequate representation of climate science from the global South. This project aims to address this issue by supporting the production of quality research from South Asia to feed into IPCC processes.

The project is managed by a group of four institutions, all with considerable experience of capacity-building activities (including running writing workshops and supporting and mentoring authors for various types of publications), producing and editing special issues of journals on climate related issues, and working with scientists and the media to improve communication and understanding.

•           Institute of Development Studies (IDS), UK (lead partner)

•           The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), India

•           Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), Sweden

•           International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD), Bangladesh

This 2-year project is funded by the UK Department for International Development.
