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.
