Dear all,

At IWMI, under our Capacity Building program, we enter into agreements with both PhD and MSc students.

We have the following clauses in our related documents.

Guidelines for PhD Scholarship program – External students

1. The research output is considered joint property of IWMI as well as the Fellowship recipient. Neither party will obstruct the other in distribution and further use of the research results. The Fellowship recipient will acknowledge on all publications that the research has been co-funded by IWMI.

The same clause appears in our Agreements with IWMI staff who seek support for their PhD studies.

And in our Agreements we have the following condition

1. The terms and conditions under which IWMI provides the support to [name Fellowship recipient] are described in the document "Guidelines IWMI Ph.D. Fellowships" which is attached as Annexure B and which will be considered an integral part of this agreement.

For MSc students who are granted fellowships, we have the following condition:

(b) Any documents produced and any information obtained as a result of this M.Sc. research will be the shared property of both student and IWMI. It may not be used, reproduced or otherwise disseminated by others without the prior written consent of both parties.

In certain cases, we also agree with the students that they will produce, jointly with their IWMI appointed research supervisor, 2 refereed articles, and 1 IWMI research report.

Hope this is helpful

Henry
