2020 OWSD PhD Fellows Announced
Twenty-six women from the developing world have been awarded OWSD PhD Fellowships, supporting them to pursue their PhDs in STEM subjects at institutions across the Global South.
OWSD is happy to introduce the 27 women who have been awarded the 2020 PhD Fellowship. Hailing from 16 countries in all four OWSD regions of the developing world, the new fellows will be supported to pursue their PhDs in STEM subjects at institutions in another country in the Global South. They intend to focus their PhD research on subjects ranging from the links between HIV and cardiovascular disease, to species adaptation in human-dominated landscapes, to the effectiveness of different management strategies on pasture productivity.
