New webinar on INASP services for researchers from the Global South
Join us on 11 November 2020 at 10 am CET for a second webinar in which you will learn how INASP supports researchers in low- and middle-income countries in publishing and communicating their research.
The webinar will focus on AuthorAID, an INASP initiative that supports early-career researchers in low- and middle-income countries. More time will be provided for open discussion.
What you will learn
- The AuthorAID platform – a global network of over 20,000 researchers, which supports mentoring between experienced and early-career researchers. AuthorAID also provides regular online courses in research writing and communication.
- INASP initiatives to help researchers develop search skills and critical thinking, move teaching, collaboration and research-sharing activities online and publish in credible, national journals.
About INASP
For nearly 30 years, INASP (International Network for Advancing Science and Policy) has been working with individuals, organisations and wider systems to improve the production, sharing and use of research knowledge.
INASP supports all aspects of research and knowledge systems, from transforming higher education institutions’ curricula and teaching practices and supporting researchers to communicate their work, to helping parliamentarians and civil servants use research and evidence in policymaking.
We regularly collaborate with INASP on initiatives, for example for the undergoing review that INASP is carrying out of Research4Life’s users’ experiences.
