The Open Doors Fellowship Program, coordinated by IPBO in collaboration with VLIR-UOS, UGent, and the Fernand Lambein Fund, is currently accepting applications from post-doctoral and mid-career women scientists in African research centers. The program is meticulously designed to equip participants with new skills, foster professional networks, and enhance scientific visibility to ensure talents remain in the scientific pipeline. Successful candidates will embark on a three-month fully funded research stage in Belgium, providing an immersive opportunity to expand research horizons and cultivate a robust scientific network. Upon returning to Africa, fellows can customize a 16-month training curriculum through online courses, enhancing soft and hard skills crucial for career growth.
