Call for Applications (2024 Admissions)
The WASCAL Doctoral Research Programme in Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (DRP-CC&DRM) is pleased to announce the opening of applications for its sixth (6th) batch of PhD students. This programme, hosted at Université de Lomé, Togo, is part of the Capacity Building Programme of West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL), with funding from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
WASCAL is a fully West African international organisation focused on academic and transdisciplinary research, aimed at building graduate-level scientific capacity and serving policy makers in West Africa with science-based advice on adaptation to Climate Change impacts and land use management. It collaborates with many agencies and universities across West Africa, creating a platform of excellence for knowledge exchange with its partners. WASCAL is funded by BMBF, as well as by multilateral and bilateral partners, and supported by its twelve (12) West African member countries, namely, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, The Gambia and Togo.
WASCAL’s mission is to offer information and knowledge services at local, national and regional levels to help West African member countries address the various challenges posed by Climate Change. This is achieved by providing capacity building support to young West African scholars in the fields of climate, natural and social sciences and by delivering climate and environmental services across its member countries.
