OWSD Institutions

OWSD collaborates with carefully selected Host Institutions — universities and research centres in the Global South — that demonstrate scientific excellence and a strong commitment to inclusion. These institutions provide OWSD fellows with laboratories, equipment, supervision, and academic networks essential to advancing their research. 

By working in partnership with Host Institutions, OWSD ensures that fellows are supported in their studies and contribute to strengthening local research ecosystems. This collaboration creates lasting impact: it promotes cross-border mobility, builds institutional capacity, and empowers women scientists to become leaders who drive innovation, influence policy, and inspire the next generation.
