*Deadline approaching-  TWAS-AAS-Microsoft 2011 Award for Young Computer
Scientists in Africa*

TWAS is currently seeking nominations of young scientists in Africa
whose research in computer science promises to have a positive impact in
the developing world.

Each year, three winners are selected from different countries on the
continent. Each recipient receives a Euro 7,000 cash award generously
contributed by Microsoft Research, of which EUR 2,000 may be spent at
the recipient’s discretion and EUR 5,000 shall be earmarked for further
research.

Nominees can be any nationality, but must have been resident and working
in Africa for at least the two years immediately prior to their
nomination. Example: For the 2011 nomination, nominees should have been
resident in Africa since at least 1 August 2009. Nominees must also have
received their most recent degree (Master’s or PhD) within the previous
ten years. Self-nomination or nomination by selection committee members
is not accepted. Nominations of young women computer scientists are
particularly encouraged.

Attached please find the nomination form.

The deadline is 31 July, however we may consider extending it by 2 weeks
if necessary.

Should you need any further information, do not hesitate to contact us
by return.

Best regards,
Antonella Mastrolia
