      The Division for Africa through the Technical Cooperation Programme requests for
      applications for the PhD Sandwich Programme. In 2020, we plan to award on a competitive
      basis at least 20 PhD sandwich fellowships to students/scientists from Chartered Universities
      in Africa.
      1. Programmatic Context
      The PhD Sandwich Fellowship Programme will be implemented within the framework of the
      regional TC project RAF0052: Supporting Human Resource Development in Nuclear Science
      and Technology (AFRA). This project was recently approved within the framework of TC
      Cycle 2018-2019.
