The TWAS-DFG Cooperation Visits Programme provides postdoctoral researchers living and working in sub-Saharan Africa with the opportunity to make a three-month ‘Cooperation Visit’ to a research institute in Germany. Such visits must be undertaken within 12 months of the award. The aim of the visit is to initiate research collaboration between African and German scientists with the ultimate goal of developing longer-term links, perhaps through other Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, or German Research Foundation) programmes. DFG will cover travel expenses and provide subsistence costs for the stay in Germany. The administration and financial operation of TWAS is undertaken by UNESCO in accordance with an agreement signed by the two organizations. Deadline: 15 April 2026   Eligibility Applicants need to hold a PhD obtained not earlier than 2021; however, for female applicants the year limit for the PhD can be extended by two years per child, i.e. for a woman with one child the PhD year would be 2019 or later. This exception for female applicants has a limit of three children which equals a maximum of six years. Therefore, the PhD of a female applicant with three or more children should not have been obtained before 2015. At the time of submission of the proposal applicants hold a research position at an institution located in a  sub-Saharan African country. Applicants need to have been engaged in a science system (including graduate and postgraduate training, research, teaching) for at least five years prior to a respective call in a sub-Saharan African country or MENA country. Applicants already on site in Germany are not eligible. Applicants with an established collaboration with the intended host are not eligible. Examples of established collaboration include one common publication with the host Professor; the host Professor was previously the applicant's MSc or PhD supervisor; or other types of extensive collaboration. Preparatory interactions (such as virtual meetings, including other forms of communication) prior to the planned guest visit are encouraged. Previous recipients of a TWAS-DFG Cooperation Visit cannot reapply. For a second visit, the German host can apply for funding under the DFG Initiation of International Collaboration Programme. Women scientists are especially encouraged to apply. All academic fields will be considered.  Finding a German host Please click here for useful information on how to identify the best German host in your field.TWAS and DFG cannot provide any assistance in identifying a German host.

Volume 17: Academic Freedom as a Practice of Democracy At a panel during the Coalition for Action in Higher Education’s April 2025 national protest, urban and cultural studies scholar Davarian Baldwin made a rousing call for courage in the face of political and material repression in US colleges and universities: “We are the power that we have been waiting for.” Responding to this call, the 2026 volume of the AAUP’s Journal of Academic Freedom seeks to showcase work of students, educators, and activists—and of unions, scholarly associations, and other governance bodies—in fighting back against repression. The volume seeks submissions on initiatives that have been pursued, strategies that have been deployed, coalitions that have been built, and work that remains to be done in the fight for academic freedom. Submissions are due by March 9, 2026. We will consider any eligible submission relevant to the journal’s core focus on academic freedom. Topics of special interest for the volume include but are not limited to political education public outreach sanctuary campuses mutual defense compacts and other forms of coalition-building debt reveals boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaigns campus unionization protests and other forms of mass mobilization lawsuits political lobbying Check out the call for papers, submission guidelines, and editorial policy to learn more about this volume and past issues of the Journal of Academic Freedom.
