The Dorcas Muthoni PhD Fellowship is a tribute to our Doctor Honoris Causa Dorcas Muthoni.
Dorcas Muthoni, a Kenyan engineer and entrepreneur, CEO and founder of the company Openworld, received our University’s highest recognition on 15th December 2017 for her significant work in the promotion of engineering studies among young women in Africa, the mentoring of young people, and her social commitment in the fight against poverty. All the details can be found here <https://www.upf.edu/web/media/enoticies/-/asset_publisher/wdGAWZ7EMj53/content/id/115809716/maximized> .
This scholarship is aligned with our university institutional commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), it aims to contribute to quality education and gender equality for African Women.
The first edition of this PhD Fellowship was opened in 2018. We are pleased to launch our second edition in 2020.
The main objectives of this fellowship are:
*(i) to promote gender equality & contribute to reduce the gender gap in ICT*; by facilitating more women pursuing scientific/technological/engineering careers and lowering the barriers women face when pursuing careers in STEM disciplines
*(ii) to share excellent research with African female researchers during their PhD Studies*. Our ICT department <https://www.upf.edu/web/etic> consists of more than 20 research groups <https://www.upf.edu/web/etic/research-groups> who are very active in international research projects (e.g. currently active in 38 H2020 research projects) and nationally we have the Spanish research excellence seal Maria de Maeztu). The Maria de Maeztu Strategic Research Program <https://www.upf.edu/web/mdm-dtic> is a 4 year research initiative funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness to promote data-driven knowledge extraction research within the department.
*(iii) to contribute to future social impact in African countries*. The applicants are expected to return to their African home country after completion of their PhD studies in order to pursue a career related to ICT there.
This PhD fellowship seeks doctoral applications from *talented African female students (only African nationality applicants will be considered)* with strong research interests. Candidates for PhD positions must hold an M.Sc degree or equivalent.
