TS Note S/666/07Home > International cooperation > OPCW Associate Programme
The Programme has been designed with the aim of contributing to the development of chemistry and chemical engineering, with emphasis on chemical safety, in Member States. It provides a valuable opportunity for scientists and engineers of developing countries with economies in transition to be exposed to advanced industrial practices.
The Programme specifically includes a training course at a University in an industrialized country and a three-week attachment with modern chemical industry in these countries.
Applicants should have a minimum qualification, equivalent to a bachelor’s degree in chemistry/chemical or process engineering and relevant work experience for more than 5 years in an academic institution, government agency or industry, proficiency in English, physical fitness and willingness to travel.
The Governments of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada and Japan have, in the past, provided voluntary financial support for meeting a part of the costs of the programme.
