Tho­mas San­ka­ra Ph.D. Scholarships for Developing Countries 2021 | Ongoing

Tho­mas San­ka­ra Ph.D. Scholarships for Developing Countries 2021: The GPN decided to name its Ph.D. scholarships after Thomas Sankara being an outstanding personality from the Global South, whose ideas and practices of resisting neo-colonialism and promoting independent pathways for countries of the Global South are deemed to inspire the work of the Global Partnership Graduate School

In the framework of its Graduate School of Research for Global Partnership, the GPN invites students from ODA recipient countries to apply for a Thomas Sankara Ph.D. scholarship at a GPN partner university. Further, it will enable and fund research co-operations between partner universities working on Global Partnership in the global economy (in the fields of agriculture, finance, and energy), in development cooperation (access, accountability, deep participation) and/or in knowledge production (Eurocentrism and alternative knowledge).

Value of Award For Tho­mas San­ka­ra Ph.D. Scholarships for Developing Countries 2021:

  • Building on successful earlier initiatives, the network will include a graduate program in which Ph.D. students are co-supervised by professors from two partner universities. The supervisors are chosen by the Ph.D. student based on thematic preferences and if they agree to the supervision, they will monitor the thesis progress at least once every three months in a one-hour online session. The Ph.D. student will spend at least six months at the partner university of the second supervisor.
  • Ph.D. students of the GPN Graduate School will be based at the respective partner universities (see above) and enrolled in the virtual Ph.D. training program. Moreover, successful candidates participate in the annual Ph.D. virtual conferences of the GPN Graduate School and get involved in the lively academic exchange and activities within the GPN network.
  • This grant will enable them to attend courses in one of the partner universities and improve their proposal. The scholarships will cover a country-specific monthly living allowance (including a family allowance if applicable), the participation in virtual GPN Graduate School activities as well as the opportunity to apply for funding towards completing empirical research. Final admission to the GPN Graduate School is conditioned on the admittance to the Ph.D. program of the chosen GPN partner university and a positive progress evaluation by the GPN in the first scholarship year.
