🌍 RRPA Research Academy

Where Scholars Learn to Write, Publish, and Earn

🎯 About the Academy

The RAMHAAZ Research and Policy Analysis (RRPA) Research Academy is an advanced research capacity-building platform designed to train, mentor, and empower emerging and mid-career scholars to produce publishable, high-impact research in top-tier international journals.

Unlike traditional workshops, the Academy functions as a complete academic ecosystem — combining training, mentorship, publication, and reward. Participants progress from learning the principles of academic writing to publishing in Scopus/Web of Science (Q1–Q3) journals and earning global recognition and financial rewards.
