Scholarship Description: The Programme of Excellence for Education and Research in South countries (PEERS) is one of the capacitybuilding
programs implemented by the IRD – in his dual role as an operator for research and as an agency (Inter-Establishment Agency for Research for Development – IARD). As part of its mission of building individual and collective research, training and innovation in developing countries, IARD supports the scientific communities of developing countries in their request for independence and international recognition, and in the development of collaborative networks and synergies among North and South scientific communities. Inthis context, the PEERS program – former program ‘Chaires Croisées’- was launched by the IRD in 2007 to support the set up or the strengthening of partnership projects between two high level professors (and / or researchers), one from the North, one from the South in the field of research for development, training and / or innovation and dissemination. The PEERS program particularly encourages the involvement of French and European research professors in research activities and training in the developing countries.
