Scholars Sample Clauses

Scholars both from within and outside the continent of Africa, have made meaningful intellectual contributions over the years, which must now be put into practical use if we do not want to be engaged in endless debates that will not achieve the desired goal of economic integration and growth in the sub- region through law. The process of harmonisation of business laws may be treaty based and the Ecowas Treaty provides the fulcrum for this. There may therefore be no need to sign another treaty. The Ecowas Treaty and the Ohada Treaty are co- extensive and not mutually exclusive. What therefore needs to be done is the collective adoption by the Ecowas States of the Ohada Treaty as may be amended to accommodate both the civil law and common law legal systems with the aim of widening the scope of the Treaty and extending membership to the Anglophone States. Alternatively Harmonized Business Laws based on the Ohada model or any other model that is suitable for both legal systems can be adopted by incorporation in the Ecowas Treaty in pursuance of its aims and objectives. The advantages of harmonization of Business Laws cannot be over emphasised. It encourages, free flow of investments, cross-border trade, certainty in business law, legally secured environment, political stability, economic growth and regional economic integration. We must therefore seek to understand or have a clear understanding of what harmonization of Business Laws is all about in invoking the provisions of the Ecowas Treaty and in particular Article 3(2)(h). The political will of Ohada States to have a Uniform Business Law has been ably demonstrated at Port Louis (Mauritius) on 17th October, 1993. The continuous existence of Ohada as an entity with clearly set-out goals is an assurance that their political will has not dwindled. The Anglophone States of Africa (in general and the Ecowas States in particular), with the common law heritage must demonstrate the political will and espouse the ideals of harmonization. This, may take time, but we can be inspired by the Chinese proverb - "a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step". The first step must be taken in an organized manner in pursuance of the common goal of harmonized Business Laws. Harmonisation of laws must not only be well planned and coordinated, it must also be put into effective cross-boarder use and practice. We must therefore evolve acceptable strategies to achieve harmonization of laws beginning with Business Laws. This is ...

Scholars a structured programme of activities aimed at supporting entry into the University of Liverpool through the completion of a portfolio of work demonstrating specific knowledge and skills. Scholars are recruited in year 12 and successful completion of the programme entitles the student to 40 UCAS points towards entry to the University. We intend to maintain the number of Scholars at 100 in 2012-13, rising to 170 by 2016-17. Summer Schools and Easter Residentials – will be provided for our partner schools. Offering young people the opportunity to take part in residential GCSE revision in English, Maths and Science at Easter or to attend a Summer School with a focus on science, or one aimed at a wider subject mix. In addition to providing the above activities for our partner and associate schools, we will offer bespoke activities for other schools, who can ‘buy-in’ from a menu which includes: overnight events, master classes, subject specific taster days, whole year group visits and bespoke events. The University will continue to offer its access course for Humanities and Social Sciences, Go Higher, and Year 0 provision to support access to clinical subjects, Science and Engineering. New activities being developed in 2011-12, for full implementation in 2012-13, include: On-campus mentoring which will link WP and non-WP schools. A Teacher-led Mandarin programme which will work with WP and non-WP schools. The development of a Student Volunteer Model, to enable students to work in primary schools, to support aspiration raising. A STEM undergraduate module (level 2), based initially in the Department of Chemistry, but to be rolled out across the University. This will enable second year students to develop and deliver curriculum-based materials in local schools, to support aspiration raising and attainment. Master classes for Year 12, given by academic staff. Appropriate and impartial information, advice and guidance about future study options in Year 9 and 11 is crucial to ensuring that pupils in disadvantaged contexts are able to make choices about GCSE and A level study. We will work with our ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group neighbour, the University of Manchester, to co-ordinate aspects of our pre-16 advice focusing on selective universities. As two premier research institutions in the North West, we will work together to share the efficient deployment of peripatetic staff in a way that minimises geographical ‘cold-spots’ across the non-urban parts of our region. In addition, we ...

Scholars. As of June 2019, GRAIN supported nine PhD and eight MSc scholars at Haryana Agricultural University (HAU) and Punjab Agricultural University (PAU). A tenth PhD student has yet to receive a visa. During the period, one additional student returned to Afghanistan due to family circumstances, bringing the total to three for the semester (one PhD and two MSc). Recruitment of Cohort 2 MSc Scholars: GRAIN’s Graduate Degree Scholarships Program for Cohort 2 offers fifteen MSc scholarships in KU’s newly established MSc Agronomy Program, and four MSc scholarships at HAU. GRAIN had originally envisioned only 3 additional international scholarships, but after interviewing applicants, decided to offer 4 to ensure gender and regional diversity. GRAIN established eligibility criteria (described in the Q1 report) in close collaboration with MAIL/ARIA, with particular focus on ensuring more females could be competitive candidates (aiming for 51% female scholarship recipients in Cohort 2).

Scholars. From UO, the key participants in the Project are: Ms Oddrun Gronvik, a lexicography expert, and Dr. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Ore, a computer specialist. From the University of Gothenburg the key collaborators are ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Gallerstam and ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Several additional scholars from Sweden had also participated in the earlier years. From UZ there are 22 participants from four different Departments, with some working on the Shona Dictionary, some on the Ndebele Dictionary, and others on other related projects.

The commitment of all the collaborators was reported to be excellent. The UO Programme Co-ordinator (Ms Gronvik) was, in fact, referred to as selfless, keen to share her expertise maximally with others, sincere and an exemplary model. The UZ Programme Co-ordinator (Dr Chimhundu) was equally praised by his peers as a leader committed to promoting team spirit.
