To strengthen scientific publication in an international environment, accelerate the publication process, and foster closer collaboration between supervisors and their students, we are pleased to announce a Writing Week from 01 – 06 December Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (facilitate by Dr. Thanh Nguyen).
🎯 Objectives:
- Finalize a manuscript draft and bring it as close as possible to submission to a reputable international journal.
- Strengthen and refine data analysis to target good journals and avoid common rejection reasons such as “lack of novelty” or “regional focus.”
🌍 What We Offer:
- Space for supervisors and student working on their paper, plus scientific mentoring and publishing expertise provided by experienced researchers in the team.
- Full coverage of travel costs, accommodation, and meals for supervisors and their Master’s or PhD students who have completed data collection and partially analysed their data.
Priority will be given to Pro-RUWA scholars and our partner universities. If space allows, participation will be opened to members of the African Centres of Excellence, with a focus on French-speaking West African countries.
👥 Eligibility & Conditions: Applications must be submitted by a supervisor and their student(s) individually but indicate name of students and supervisor (maximum of two students per supervisor).
The application should clearly state the student’s name, research topic, and manuscript status. We can accommodate max. 6 pairs (ca 12 participants). Make sure supervisor and student add the same name of research topic and manuscript status.
📝 Application Details:
- Deadline for applications: 5 November 2025
- Notification of results: 8 November 2025
