A residency supporting researchers from developing countries to complete a nearly finished academic paper through dedicated writing time and mentorship at ICTP, leading to a pre-print and journal submission.
 
This three-week residency offers scholars from ODA-eligible countries the time and guidance needed to finalise an academic manuscript related to climate-compatible growth. Research must already be completed; the focus is exclusively on writing and publication. Participants receive travel support, accommodation, DSA, and in-person mentorship from the CCG Consortium. Topics include energy, transport, finance, policy, governance, critical minerals, circularity, Data-to-Deal, and related interdisciplinary themes. Residents are expected to produce a pre-print and ideally submit their paper to a peer-reviewed journal.
 
Topics:
  • Energy systems and low-carbon transitions
  • Sustainable transport and mobility planning
  • Infrastructure resilience and circularity
  • Resource efficiency and critical minerals
  • Green growth, economics, and climate finance
  • Governance, equity, and GESI
  • Data-to-Deal and investment preparation
  • System planning and integrated policy design
  • Green hydrogen and emerging fuels
  • Circular economy and resource governance
 

Eligibility:
  • Nationals of ODA-eligible countries only (priority: LDCs)
  • Affiliation with a university or research institution in an ODA country
