Welcome
to NYRA
Network of Young Researchers Working in Africa!
The Network of Young Researchers working in Africa (NYRA) was created to provide a forum for PhD students and young researchers in the social sciences working in Africa, to facilitate academic exchanges across national and institutional borders. It is the initiative of a group of PhD students, based in different countries and institutions and it is not affiliated to any particular university or research institute.
The website contains continuously updated information on upcoming events,
recent publications and job, internship and scholarship opportunities as well
as a discussion forum, a membership register and a collection of links to
university departments, research centers and internet sources on Africa.
The vitality of the site is dependent on the participation of each and
everyone. For information on how to participate go to 'Get involved'.
