We are excited to announce that the Public Call for Student Joint Research Grants (SJRG) is now officially open as of today, the 27th of January, and will remain open until the 3rd of March 2025. This initiative, in the frame of the SDC’s Landscape Fire Management in the Western Balkans (LFMWB) Programme, aims to foster research and collaboration on landscape fire and adaptive landscape management.

To support your application process, I am sharing the following documents as attachments or links:

  1. The presentation from the Info Day.
  2. Confirmation ofStudent Collaboration (template).
  3. Thesis Concept and Methodology(template).
  4. Guidelines for the Student Joint Research Grants.

Moreover, you can find detailed information on the official LFMWB website here.

We would like to kindly ask you to share this information with your colleagues and students who may be interested in applying for the grants.

Additionally, an MS Teams chat was created for this initiative. This platform will allow you to connect and collaborate with professors and students from different universities across the Western Balkans and Switzerland. If any of you or your colleagues and students would also like to join the chat, please let me know by replying to this email with their names and email addresses.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, do not hesitate to reach out.

We look forward to seeing the impactful research ideas that will emerge from this collaboration.
