EU money to help Southern scientists compete for funding

Research institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific have three months to apply for a €33 million fund to boost their ability to compete for international research funding.
The grant programme — the ACP Science and Technology Programme — is funded by the European Union (EU) and coordinated by the secretariat of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States. Its call for funding was announced last week (27 November).
