IP formation
Le Projet Intégré AMMA, proposé au financement de l'Union Européenne dans le cadre du 6° PCRD, prévoit plusieurs Ateliers et Ecoles d'Eté entre 2005 et 2010.
Priority: Global Change and Ecosystems
Area: Impact and mechanisms of greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric pollutants on climate, ozone depletion and carbon sinks
Topic: Hot spots in the Earth system
AMMA Integrated Project
(submitted to this call)
Work package “University programs and Summer schools”
To make a significant contribution to the appropriation of this knowledge by the emerging African scientific community and the decision makers.
The work package “University programs and Summer schools” is composed of four tasks:
Organising two summer schools
Organising two application workshops
Facilitating participation of African Scientists to training courses
Participating in implementation of PhD programme in West Africa
Organising scientist programme
A first AMMA Summer School (AMMASS/1) for European and African students at the PhD level took place September 2003. It is planned to organise two similar schools during the AMMA project.
It is also planned to organise application workshops (on Food Security and Public Health), linked to the observational program of AMMA.
The potential barriers as far as the working languages (English and French) are concerned have been solved in the past (AMMASS/1, Workshops...) as follows:
Experts and trainees should be bi-linguals or at least have an excellent knowledge of one language and be proficient in the other
Most of the teaching material, multidisciplinary material, application material , documentation... are in both languages
Special summary sessions can be organized everyday in a requested language as required by trainees or deemed necessary
An AMMA oriented PhD program will also be created with African Universities with contribution of African and European professors, and grants provided by Start, CNRS, IRD/DSF, French Educational Ministry, etc., through specific calls for applications (BDI, Chorus, short term scientific exchange grants, etc.).
The project, by relying on international exchange programs (i.e., Visiting scientists), will enhance participation of European visiting scientists students in PhD programs in Africa.
And the participation of African scientists and technicians in training courses in the region concerning the AMMA themes will be promoted.
