African Oxford Initiative AfOx Visiting Fellowship Program 2025

The African Oxford Initiative (AfOx) Visiting Fellowship Program is a prestigious opportunity for African researchers to collaborate with the University of Oxford, one of the world’s leading academic institutions. The program fosters academic exchange and strengthens research networks between African institutions and Oxford, supporting projects that address critical challenges in Africa. Fully funded, it covers travel, accommodation, and living expenses, allowing fellows to focus on research, networking, and professional development during their stay at Oxford.

Applicants must be African researchers based at an African academic or research institution, typically holding a PhD or equivalent research experience. Candidates should have a strong academic record and a clear research proposal aligned with AfOx themes (e.g., health, innovation, sustainable development). Applicants must secure a host department or supervisor at Oxford. Both early-career and established researchers are eligible, with selection based on academic merit, research impact, and commitment to Africa’s development. A nomination or invitation from an Oxford department may be required.
