Call for scientific and non-academic reviewers
Deadline: 25 November 2016
The International Social Science Council, in partnership with the International Council for Science (ICSU) and the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC), will support 10 collaborative research projects across Africa (to the value of up to 90,000 Euro each over two years) in 2017 in order to ensure that science can effectively contribute to the implementation of the New Urban Agenda in Africa. These projects are expected to generate new solutions-oriented knowledge that will help develop new urban paradigms in Africa and make African cities more resilient, adaptable and healthier. For more details, please see the document attached.
We are now looking for scientists and non-academic experts with expertise in energy systems, air pollution, health, provision of health services, climate mitigation and adaptation, land use and urban planning, and disaster risk reduction in the urban environment to review full proposals between Nov 2016 – mid Jan 2017. Experience in inter- and transdisciplinary research would be of value. Guidelines for review will be provided.
If you are interested or would like to suggest relevant experts, please contact Katsia Paulavets, Science Officer at ICSU by November 25th 2016. You can reach Katsia at katsia.paulavets@icsu.org.
