Engagement in north-south research partnerships can benefit the career prospects of a developing country scientist, according to a survey of the alumni of a major Swiss-funded research Programme.
 
It is heard that recently an analysis of 44 alumni - from Africa, Asia and Latin America - of a Swiss-funded north-south research programme has taken place.
 
This has showed that more than 90% of them stayed in developing countries after attaining their PhD, and were mostly working in academia.
