Early Career Academic Grants

Early Career Academic Grants are open to early career academics employed by ACU member universities, enabling them to participate in a conference held in any country other than their country of employment.

Grants are intended to give the opportunity to participate in international conferences to early career academics without previous international experience.

30 grants are available in 2018.

About Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU):

The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) is the world's first international university network, established in 1913.

A UK-registered charity, the ACU has more than 500 member institutions in over 50 countries. We bring together many of the most prestigious and well-funded universities internationally with relatively new institutions in some of the world’s least developed countries. What binds us together is a common belief in the value of higher education to society, the conviction that this value is enhanced by international collaboration, and a passion for rigour and excellence in everything that we and our member universities do.

With three distinct but interconnected areas of work – member services, programmes, and scholarship administration – supported by robust infrastructure and governance arrangements, the ACU combines delivering value to its members with achieving impact on the world of higher education and wider society. 

Eligibility
At the time of application, applicants must be employed in an academic (research and/or teaching) role by an ACU member institution.

Applications are open to university staff who are less than ten years from the start of their employment in an academic role. Academic staff who have recently returned to work after a career break can also be considered: applicants to whom this criteria applies should make this clear in their application.

Applicants must not have previously worked or attended an academic conference outside their home region.

Conference participation
The conference to be attended must be a recognised academic conference in a field relevant to the applicant’s area of expertise in a country other than the applicant’s country of employment. Applicants must give full details of their chosen conference at the time of application.

Applications will be strengthened by the applicant providing evidence of the submission/acceptance of a paper or poster, or other communication with the conference organisers. Proof of a paper submission/acceptance or other communication must be attached to the application form.
Travel dates

The grant must be used to participate in a conference between 1 June 2018 and 31 December 2018. Applications to attend conferences outside these dates will not be successful.

Amount of grant

1. The maximum amount of each grant is GBP 2,000. Grants can be used to cover travel and visa costs, conference fees, accommodation and subsistence.
2. Other terms and conditions
3. Applicants must provide a letter of support from their head of department.
4. Successful applicants will be responsible for arranging any required visa as well as making their own travel arrangements.
5. Grants will be paid in a single instalment to a nominated individual at the grant holder’s home institution.
6. Grant holders must provide an account of expenditure and a brief report on how their grant has been spent.
7. The ACU aims to achieve a regional and gender balance in selections.

Yunus&Youth Fellowship Program is now accepting applications from hardworking, passionate entrepreneurs building social businesses around the world. Get professional support and mentoring to scale your social venture!

Yunus&Youth exists to make the challenge of social entrepreneurship easier. Y&Y was inspired by the work of Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus and his belief that companies and entrepreneurs can engage in business models that create real, sustainable social impact. People around the world struggle with social problems: some lack access to safe drinking water while others struggle with unemployment or insufficient health services (to name a few). Here is where social business comes in. These early stage start-ups drive social change because their founders are close to the problems they’re solving and the communities they’re helping. Like GreenChar in Kenya, where Y&Y Fellow Yina sells affordable charcoal briquettes that reduce the risk of contracting respiratory illnesses. Or Bella Handmade Jewelry, founded by Y&Y Fellow Walaa, which offers employment opportunities to women in refugee camps in Palestine. What makes social businesses unique is that they are for-profit, but they’re not profit-driven—they’re driven by their vision to improve society.

What is a Social Business?

The concept of social business is defined by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus as a non-loss, non-dividend company created to address a social purpose.

That means that, like a charity, the goal of a social business is to solve a social problem. But because it’s a business, it’s also financially sustainable, ensuring independence, security, and the ability/chance to exclusively focus on creating lasting impact. Instead of donors, a social business has investors. Instead of fundraising, a social business generates a profit—and then reinvests that profit in the company’s innovation and growth in order to increase its social impact.

Yunus&Youth Fellowship Program Eligibility.

1. You have started working on your social business and are dedicated to making it succeed.
2. You must be under 30 years old.
3. You must be able to speak and communicate in English.
4. You must also be able to commit to 5 hours per week on exercises that will help you improve your business.

 

Yunus&Youth Fellowship Program Benefits.

1. Fellows receive a 6-month crash course in social business development. The step-by-step curriculum ensures that by the end, They will be ready to pitch to potential investors.
2. Fellows will be matched with a professional mentor. These mentors are successful entrepreneurs and business professionals ready to lend their expertise to help fellows maximize their business’ growth potential.
3. Being a Y&Y Fellow means having a support network of experts, business leaders, and institutions around the world.

4. obtain approval from the employing institution who must agree to the absence of the candidate should he/she receive a Fellowship for the period involved in obtaining the postgraduate qualification; and

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has postponed its 50th Convocation previously scheduled to commence on February 19.

The University Community, the general public, parents, guardians and in particular the 2017/2018 graduating students are hereby informed of the earlier scheduled UNILAG 50th Convocation Ceremony has been postponed.

The university authorities, in a statement released on Tuesday by the Principal Assistant Registrar, Information Unit, Mrs. Taiwo Oloyede, said the postponement was due to challenges posed by the ongoing strike by the non-teaching staff of the institution.

The statement partly read, “Although necessary arrangements for a smooth ceremony were at an advanced stage, however, it has become imperative to postpone the ceremonies due to the charged and unpredictable atmosphere on campus.

Recommended: Why we postponed 50th convocation – UNILAG

“The nefarious activities of the unions witnessed in the last few weeks under the guise of a strike have the capacity to snowball into a major crisis and mar the carefully laid out arrangements for a successful convocation.

“The university remains committed to providing a conducive atmosphere to foster quality teaching and research, as well as to produce graduates that can compete with their counterparts globally.”

The management urged members of the university community to continue their  lawful activities, adding that a suitable date for the convocation would be communicated in due course.

The University of Lagos (UNILAG), on Tuesday said it had postponed its convocation ceremony for the 2016/2017 academic session.

The Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, made this disclosure to newsmen on Tuesday.

He said that a suitable date for the ceremony would be announced in due course.

The university, in a statement earlier had stated that a news conference to announce activities lined up for the event had been slated for Feb. 14.

“Yes, after some deliberations with management, the university has decided to postpone the convocation ceremony.

“This is as a result of the challenges posed by the on-going strike embarked upon by members of the non –academic labour unions of universities.

“The ceremony was earlier scheduled to hold from Monday, Feb. 19 to Thursday Feb. 22

“The activities of these unions have the potential of snowballing and marring the carefully laid out arrangements already put in place for the ceremony,’’ he said.

Ogundipe stated that though arrangements for a successful ceremony were already at an advanced stage, the institution would not give room for anything that might cause any form of inconvenience or embarrassments to invited guests.

“The university remains committed to providing a conducive atmosphere that would foster quality teaching and research as well as produce graduates that can compete with their counterparts globally.

“Hence, members of the community are enjoined to continue their lawful activities,’’ the vice-chancellor said.

Members of the unions, the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU), the Non Academic Staff Union ( NASU) and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAATS), had embarked on strike on Dec. 4, 2017.
