Unmissable Opportunity: AGNES-Bayer Fellowship for Biodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture – Deadline: 16 October 2026
The AGNES-Bayer Scientific Foundation is delighted to announce that applications are now open for its prestigious research fellowship – an unmissable opportunity for scientists and researchers dedicated to biodiversity and sustainable agriculture in Cape Verde. This initiative aims to foster innovative research that contributes to environmental conservation and the development of agricultural practices that safeguard the future of the planet, with a particular focus on sub-Saharan regions and small island developing states (SIDS), such as Cape Verde.
Cape Verde, with its unique biodiversity and fragile ecosystems, faces significant challenges relating to climate change, desertification and the need for more resilient agricultural systems. The AGNES-Bayer Grant represents a crucial opportunity to drive forward research projects that address these pressing issues. We look forward to receiving proposals that explore innovative solutions for the sustainable management of water resources, the conservation of native flora and fauna, the development of drought-resistant crops, and regenerative agricultural practices that promote soil health and food security.
Research projects must be problem-solving in nature, with clear potential for impact and application in local contexts. Collaboration with local communities and stakeholders will be valued, ensuring that the proposed solutions are culturally appropriate and sustainable in the long term. This grant is not merely an investment in research, but an investment in the sustainable future of Cape Verde and the region.
Interested parties should submit their proposals via the link below, ensuring they meet the deadline of 16 October 2026. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference and contribute to a greener and more prosperous future for Cape Verde.
