Early Career Researchers and Scholars

The Advancing Early Career Researchers and Scholars (AECRS) programme has been developed to address the needs of emerging academic researchers in the South African higher education and research sector, for support and capacity building by partners USAf and DSI.

	Thuso (meaning help) Resources was developed in response to a need for a national ‘toolbox’ of useful resources for early career researchers and scholars. In the interest of working together collaboratively to build strengths, South African universities are partnering in sharing instruments, resources, and training offerings, on an open access online platform.
	Thuso Connect is designed to allow South African academic researchers to participate in a nationwide, interactive, online mentorship programme. Individuals who are seeking mentorship, and others who are willing to offer it, can meet through the platform, and work together in a partnership. The platform provides an effective, ethical way of introducing mentors and mentees.
