12 PhD-students selected for RCI: Joany Fransman and Hannelie du Preez

TWO RCI PhD-students, Joany Fransman and Hannelie du Preez: SANPAD (South Africa-Netherlands Research Programme on Alternatives in Development) is a unique collaborative research programme that has been financed by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 1997. In Phase 3, the funding will be directed through the Royal Embassy of the Netherlands, South Africa. SANPAD funds high-quality, collaborative research by South African researchers conducted in association with Dutch researchers. An ancillary to this funding process is an annual programme in research capacitation for emerging researchers, the Research Capacity Initiative-the RCI. It is therefore our pleasant duty at this time of the year to call for applications for South African junior researchers for the annual SANPAD Research Capacity Initiative (RCI) Programme, and I cordially invite you to co-operate with me in finding appropriate candidates for the thirty positions available on the Programme. The RCI Programme consists of approximately seven weeks of contact learning in social science (and other sciences) research methodologies, offered at a doctoral level. The workshops, the students’ transport and accommodation, and the other related expenses are funded by SANPAD – to the value of approximately R200 000 p.a. per student. This makes selection for the RCI tantamount to receiving one of the most valuable student scholarships in the RSA.
