Dear Colleagues,



We are inviting 𝐏𝐡𝐃 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 (ECRs) to join the 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 (𝐁-𝐑𝐄𝐏) 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 as Guest Speakers, Instructors, and Mentors.



B-REP is more than a training course; it is a technical bridge for emerging scientists (undergraduates, graduate students and enthusiasts) in under-served equatorial regions, specifically Africa. Our mission is to move beyond theory and equip these students with the "Space-Data Stack" required to compete for globally funded PhDs and research roles.



𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐁-𝐑𝐄𝐏 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔? For an ECR, this is an opportunity to build a verifiable track record of 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩:



- 𝑫𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 "𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒕": Fulfill the outreach requirements often requested by major funding bodies (e.g., NSF, ESA, NASA).

- ⁠𝑮𝒍𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒍 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉 𝑵𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌: Connect with a distributed community of supervisors and high-potential students in the equatorial belt.

- ⁠𝑷𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒐 𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉: Receive formal recognition and certificates for international teaching and mentorship.

- ⁠𝑴𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑬𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒚: Play a direct role in diversifying the global space weather workforce.



𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 We have designed the commitment to be high-impact but "light-touch" to respect your research schedule:

⁠𝑮𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑳𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔: A single 45-minute technical session on your area of expertise.

𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔: Lead a hands-on session (approx. 1 hour) on specific tools or datasets.

𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑: Short-term guidance for student capstone projects focused on GitHub-ready research.


𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭: Help us bridge the gap between regional talent and the global space-data ecosystem, while enhancing your portfolio via international collaboration.
