Most recently, Christian Tipoy had a successful trip to Boston for the 2015 International Journal of Arts & Sciences’ International Conference for Business and Economics, where he presented the paper, “Real Convergence Using Tar Panel Unit Root Tests: An Application To Southern African Development Community.”
AGRODEP routinely provides grants and awards to members, and a portion of that funding is reserved for members to attend international conferences. Under the Research Valorization program, AGRODEP provides up to $2500 per year per member to travel and present their work at a research conference. In addition, this grant can be used to fund journal submission fees. The Research Valorization program was established in 2011 as part of AGRODEP's wider grants program. It supports AGRODEP's goal of increasing African researchers' involvement in the study of strategic development questions and in Africa's overall growth and policy debates. Attendance at international conferences provides AGRODEP members with important opportunities to network, collaborate, and share knowledge with their international and regional colleagues. To date, 29 AGRODEP members have received Research Valorization grants.
Applications for the 2015 Research Valorization grants continue to be accepted on a rolling basis. These grants are available to AGRODEP members only and are approved on a case-by-case basis. Interested members should submit an online application.
