Dear Critters, I am looking for an institution in Mongolia that is interested in sending and receiving researchers (using funds that I already secured) I started a project (social innovation, open to interdisciplinarity so any discipline is welcome) last March with 8 countries in Asia but the Mongolian one is struggling to find people interested. I can basically give a fellowship to researchers, professor and/or PhD studies to stay for 1-12 months in an EU university (to basically do whatever they want, sit in the library, attend some classes, get further training, do networking with very little obligations: 1 seminar, 1 workshop and acknowledge the funding in the next article they write) I am surprised they are not taking advantage of that (too much money already they have?) but that's life, maybe I should give the opportunity to another university or NGO, Think Tank. This is in the frame of an institutional agreement so I cannot just give the fellowship to an individual that is not related to a legal entity. I would have to sign an agreement with their institute first and then anyone from that institute would become eligible. So if anyone has any contacts in Mongolia who could be interested, please contact me, this has proven an exceptional opportunities over the years and I would like also Mongolian researchers to benefit from it thank you Abel -- <https://www.tol.org/client/article/28463-where-your-grandmas-kitchen-belongs-in-a-museum.html?fbclid=IwAR0UbDCVvSm-C1nOVn8jB5_whil1nDfozRoUJtazsPaL9aEtpReLikKRKdo>Dr Abel Polese <http://iicrr.ie/people/fellows/dr-abel-polese/> (ORCID <https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9607-495X>), IICRR, Dublin City University Editor: Studies of Transition States and Societies <http://www.tlu.ee/stss> ________________ Out now (e-book €5.99) The SCOPUS Diaries and the (il)logics of Academic Survival A Short Guide to Design Your Own Strategy And Survive Bibliometrics, Conferences, and Unreal Expectations in Academia <https://www.kobo.com/de/de/ebook/the-scopus-diaries-and-the-il-logics-of-academic-survival> ...recent blogs and short pieces - The unsustainability of the “pay-as-you-go” publishing model <https://researchwhisperer.org/2023/03/07/unsustainability-of-pay-as-you-go/> - What “the 4-hour work week” can teach an idealist researcher <http://researchwhisperer.org/2022/06/21/4-hour-working-week-and-the-researcher/> - “Ukrainian Dispatches”: Fleeing Kyiv with kids, ex-wife, her husband and two cats <https://globalvoices.org/2022/03/03/ukrainian-dispatches-1-fleeing-kyiv-with-family-and-pets/> - What is informality?
