2025 British Academy Writing and Mentoring Workshop for Early Career Researchers in West Africa

Posted on: 24 Apr, 2025 Deadline: 15 May, 2025

The British Academy is pleased to announce two interactive workshops aimed at supporting Early Career Researchers (ECRs) in West Africa.

These workshops will take place in Lomé, Togo, and Mile 91, Sierra Leone, in June and July 2025, and are designed to provide cutting-edge research training and development opportunities for ECRs in the region. The workshops are part of a broader initiative to address the gap in capacity development for early career academics in Africa, which has emerged despite the increasing demand for higher education.

The specific goals of the workshops are to:

Equip participants with the mechanisms and tools to publish in international, impactful peer-reviewed journals and write grant proposals.
Provide personalized mentorship and feedback on submitted manuscripts from experienced academics and journal editors.
Provide participants with opportunities to network and collaborate with their colleagues, leading scholars, and journal editors to produce impactful outputs over the period of two years.
Provide follow-up and sustained support to participants for their submissions to international journals after the workshop.
