Welcome to the IDM Opportunities Page

This page is your gateway to a variety of exciting opportunities, including funding and grant calls, external vacancies, fellowships, and calls for nominations. Here, you’ll find detailed information to help you take advantage of these offerings.

How It Works:

  1. Browse through the listed opportunities to find the one that aligns with your interests and goals.

  2. Click on the 'Guidelines' for more information, including eligibility criteria and deadlines.

  3. Carefully follow the instructions provided for each opportunity to ensure your application meets all requirements.

Important Notes on Deadlines:

  • For some funding and grant opportunities, there are internal deadlines that must be adhered to. This is because applications often need to be vetted by the University of Cape Town (UCT) before submission to the funder.

  • Other opportunities may have a single external deadline.
