We are happy to inform you OWSD is *now officially accepting

As a reminder, this fellowship is a prestigious award of up to USD 
50,000, generously provided by Canada’s IDRC/CRDI 
<https://www.facebook.com/IDRC.CRDI/?fref=mentions>, and is offered to 
women scientists from Science and Technology Lagging Countries (STLCs) 
who have completed their PhDs in Science, Technology, Engineering and 
Mathematics (STEM) subjects and are employed at an academic or 
scientific research institute in one of the eligible countries. ECWS 
fellows will be supported for two years to continue their research at an 
international level while based at their home institutes, to build up 
research groups that will attract international visitors, and to link 
with industry.
