📣 Attention Climate Adaptation Researchers in Africa! 🌍

The Call for Applications for the Adaptation Research Alliance (ARA) Emerging Adaptation Professionals Knowledge Catalyst Fellowship (March – August 2026) is now open!

The Adaptation Research Alliance (ARA), in collaboration with the African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS) is inviting applications for the Emerging Adaptation Professionals (EAP) Knowledge Catalyst Fellowship, hosted by the ACTS Pathways Academy @PathwaysACTS.

This six-month Fellowship is designed to strengthen and elevate African research on climate adaptation and resilience, with a clear pathway to contributing to the IPCC AR7 Working Group II process on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation.

If you are a postgraduate student, PhD candidate, postdoc, early-career researcher (within 5 years post-PhD), adjunct faculty or climate adaptation practitioner working in Africa, you are encouraged to apply.

Fellowship Streams:
🔹 Cohort 1 – For researchers with draft manuscripts that can be completed within four months. Fellows will receive structured mentorship to bring their work to publication in peer-reviewed or open-access outlets.
🔹 Cohort 2 – For researchers with manuscripts already accepted for publication who require financial support for professional editing and/or publication fees.
🔹Synthesis teams working across geographies or disciplines are also welcome. Tutorial fellows, adjunct faculty and lecturers seeking time off teaching to focus on manuscript development may also apply and will be compensated for up to three months.

👩🏾‍💻 👨🏾‍💻 Fellows Will Gain:
• Mentorship from adaptation experts
• Strengthened academic and non-academic writing and science communication skills
• Financial support for editing, publication, and translation to English
• Enhanced research visibility on ARA and ACTS platforms
• A fully funded physical Tracking, Learning & Sharing Workshop
• Access to long-term peer and mentor networks across Africa and beyond

Non-English-speaking applicants are encouraged to apply. Interpretation and translation support will be provided where possible.

🗓️ Application Deadline: March 11, 2026
📢 Notification of Outcome: March 20, 2026

This Fellowship seeks to close the evidence gap in African climate adaptation research and amplify work that reflects the realities of vulnerable communities across the continent.
