Armenia's Fellowships: Bridging the Gap to Global Excellence

[hagopbul]

The nations that prevail in a soaring global economy are those whose R&D, high-tech, and intellectual strength thrive. Unfortunately, Armenia faces an enormous gap between desire and achievement, and the question is what can be done to close it?

The Gituzh initiative believes that Armenia's future security, economic growth, and overall development depend on having competitive scientific and R&D capabilities able to support the nation's needs and help tackle the obstacles the country faces. This article in https://www.linkedin.com/company/evn-report/ is by and large a summary of Armenia’s scientific ecosystem gaps and the efforts to bridge them to revive:https://lnkd.in/de8XAGWd

Eventually, it is a call for researchers worldwide. Armenia’s Science Committee has launched ambitious grant programs to attract scientists and researchers from around the world to come to Armenia and strengthen scientific excellence in the country.

LAURIK and CARIN, a call for relatively young and mid-career researchers to relocate to Armenia to establish a lab/form a group. The other program, ARPI, targets researchers, professors, and tenured professors or equivalent positions in order to establish and lead remote labs in competitive fields.

Thanks for the post, hago. Are you closely connected with the folks in Aremenia? We all need to try to help to build up STEM everywhere, IMO.
