MOST International Ph.D. Award
(2000-2001 Edition)
In 1998, the MOST Programme launched the MOST Ph.D. Award to be given
every two years to a national from either a developing country or a
country in transition who has successfully defended his/her doctorate on
a subject that falls within the themes of the Programme.
The goal of this award is to improve research skills in developing
countries and countries in transition. Through this Award, MOST also
aims at generating further knowledge in the field of contemporary social
transformations by successful young scholars and researchers.
In the first edition, the laureate of the MOST Ph.D. Award was Dr.
Adrian Saville (South Africa, 31 years old). Adrian Saville defended his
thesis in 1997 on Economics and Natural Resources Management at the
Department of Economics of the University of Natal.
For the 2000/2001 term of the Award, the deadline is fixed on 1
September 2000. Your participation in terms of disseminating the
information throughout national universities and selecting candidates is
very important to the MOST Programme.
For additional information on admission conditions and administrative
procedures, please contact Carlos R. Sanchez Milani, MOST Secretariat
(tel.: +33 1 45684576, fax: +33 1 45685724, e-mail:
