QUWA Research Fellowships for Women Researchers: An Opportunity for Cape Verde
The QUWA Research Grants initiative, with a deadline for applications of 15 October 2026, presents an extraordinary opportunity to boost women-led scientific research in Cape Verde. In an archipelago where the potential for innovation is vast and women’s voices in science deserve to be heard ever more widely, this grant programme represents a beacon of hope and a catalyst for sustainable development.
Cape Verde, with its challenges and unique geographical, climatic and social characteristics, requires innovative solutions and in-depth research across a range of fields. From environmental sustainability and water resource management in the face of climate change, to public health, education and the development of renewable energy, the field for research is fertile. The QUWA Fellowships are designed to empower women researchers to explore these and many other areas, contributing perspectives and approaches that are crucial to building a more prosperous and equitable future.
These grants are not merely a financial incentive; they are a recognition of the intrinsic value and transformative power of women’s research. By supporting projects led by women, QUWA not only promotes gender equality in science, but also ensures that a diversity of thought and experience is incorporated into solving our society’s most pressing problems. We believe that investing in female talent is an investment in the progress of the entire nation.
We strongly encourage all Cape Verdean women researchers, or those with projects relevant to the country, to consider this opportunity. Now is the time to give voice to your ideas, to apply your knowledge and to build bridges between science and the needs of the community. A thorough review of the guidelines and eligibility criteria is essential for a successful application.
