Welcome to VoaSoratra

Growing ideas into published discoveries
A 12-week mentoring program to support Malagasy PhD students in transforming their dissertation chapters into manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals. 

About the Program

This program is targeted towards Malagasy PhD students based in Madagascar who are studying ecology, conservation biology, environmental sciences, and related fields. Students will receive general instruction and tips via weekly webinars and then work independently to write. Additionally, each student will be assigned a mentor to guide them and provide feedback on their write-up throughout the program, with the goal of submitting the work for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Students are required to discuss their participation in this program with their respective academic advisors before applying. ​​

The majority of the webinars will be in Malagasy, but there will be slides in English. For webinar sessions in English, we can offer translation into Malagasy and/or French as necessary.

Costs

All related fees will be covered, plus a modest amount for internet connection will be provided for selected candidates based on their needs.​

How to apply?

Applications are currently open until February 20, 2026.
