Dear friends,

As many as 12 Research Fellowships will be awarded, each providing a
grant of up to 22,000 € and specialized guidance to enable emerging

(ICT).
Emerging researchers from developing country in Africa, the Middle
East, the Asia Pacific region, and Latin America and the Caribbean are
invited to apply for a Fellowship. They may submit their application
