AGNES encourages applications from all research fields (Sciences, Humanities, Law and Social Sciences).

Eligibility and Application Process

Direct applications from junior researchers having published at least 1 article from their thesis work (in a non-predatory journal) will be considered for both AGNES Mobility Grants. The applicant: (a) may be from any academic discipline but must be officially registered for a doctoral degree at a university/tertiary institute in sub-Sahara Africa at the time of application, (b) must be a national of a sub-Saharan African country, and (c) must have, at least one already published paper from his/her thesis work (in a non-predatory journal).
