"The USF International Fellowship significantly advanced my career development — both academically and through international collaboration. My six-month residency at the University of Melbourne allowed me to engage deeply with scholars on urban climate resilience and informality, refining my research and expanding my networks. These connections led to joint proposals, seminar invitations, and increased visibility, strengthening my role in interdisciplinary, South–South–North urban research."

Dr Michael Osei Asibey, International Fellowship
