ASMN 4.0 Commences October 2024

Following the successes recorded at the third edition of the African Scholars Mentorship Network (ASMN) Series 3.0 and the attendant appeal by young professionals for the flagship training programme to be opened for new intakes, the leadership of DePECOS Institutions and Development Research Centre (DIaDeRC) has approved the commencement of ASMN 4.0 in collaboration with our Canadian partner, Centre for Socially Engaged Theatre (C-SET) at the University of Regina,  from 27th October  through 24th November 2024

The 5-weeks training will see participants grounded in a well-tailored training routine, fashioned to meet the yearnings and aspirations of established, young and budding researchers, both in industry and academia.

Participants in the first (ASMN 1.0), second (ASMN 2.0) and third (ASMN 3.0) editions of ASMN bootcamp training have already witnessed a remarkable shift in their research approach, mindset and have developed the requisite skillset needed to collaborate effectively, expand their networks, conduct research, and secure research grants.

Thus, with ASMN 4.0, DIaDeRC will be taking things to the next level. This training will see participants learn from experts the art and science of grantsmanship, have access to valuable resources, navigate the grant landscape, develop winning proposals, cultivate a supportive professional network, and at the same time, gain insights from industry experts on collaboration with our extensive network of almost 1,000 researchers, scholars and professionals to advance their research careers.
