ENGAGE 18 - Advancing Early Career Researchers and Scholars

The Advancing Early Career Researchers and Scholars (AECRS) programme addresses the needs of emerging academic researchers in the South African higher education and research sector, aiming at support and capacity building. Following from previous studies on building a cohort of emerging academics nationally, and in-depth discussions with academic research leaders in all South African universities, the national landscape was mapped to determine interventions and resources needed for developing emerging researchers.
