The SASSCAL capacity development agenda aims at developing and supporting a strong network of SASSCAL Alumni. The purpose is to allow SASSCAL graduates and scholarships holders to stay connected with SASSCAL. Through the Alumni Network, SASSCAL intends to inform its alumni on both regional and national capacity and skills development programmes and initiatives, job opportunities and latest research outcomes in the field of climate change. Information will be shared through email, SASSCAL website and/or newsletter.
To provide further support to former graduates and scholarships holders aimed at developing their skills and broadening their career options, SASSCAL plans to implement in collaboration with its partners, a number of capacity development programmes and initiatives. Some of these initiatives will include:
- Graduate program scholarships
- SASSCAL/WASCAL/DAAD postdoctoral alumni support mechanism
- Mobility and conference awards
- Support for attending specific summer schools or short-courses
- Short-term exchange visits for post-doctoral student
- Support for annual post-graduate alumni meetings
- Mentoring awards
Membership of SASSCAL Alumni Network will be open of all SASSCAL graduates and scholarships holders who obtained an academic qualification (BSc, Honours, MSc or PhD) funded directly by SASSCAL or indirectly through the research projects. No fees will be charged to become a member of SASSCAL Alumni.
