A new scholar exchange initiative offering 100 fellowships to African-born academics living in North America, to work in and forge research partnerships with African universities, has been launched by Carnegie Corporation of New York. The ambitious aim is “to turn the continent’s ‘brain drain’ into ‘brain gain’”. The Carnegie Corporation said in a release that African-born scholars living in the United States and Canada would be eligible for the fellowships and would “conduct collaborative research in curricula development, co-publish and supervise graduate students”. “Fellows will engage in educational projects proposed and hosted by faculty at higher education institutions in countries where Carnegie Corporation operates in Sub-Saharan Africa.” The two-year Carnegie African Diaspora Fellows Program will be managed and administered by the New York-based Institute of International Education.
