The IsDB-TWAS Fellowship is a joint initiative by the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) and TWAS that provides funding for postdoctoral researchers from developing countries to undertake research in a host institution in another developing country. The program aims to support and enhance human capital and research capacity in science and technology in these countries.
The IsDB is a multinational development bank focused on promoting economic growth and social progress in its member countries, primarily located in the Islamic world. TWAS, on the other hand, is an international organization based in Italy that supports scientific excellence and capacity building in the developing world.
The IsDB-TWAS Fellowship is a collaboration between these two organizations and provides funding for two years of research in a host institution in a developing country. The program is open to Ph.D. holders and citizens of an IsDB member country, with eligible fields including natural sciences, engineering, and technology.
