OFFICIAL WARC AFFILIATION FOR SCHOLARS
WARC is, first and foremost, a community of scholars whose interests and enthusiasm help shape the programs and priorities of the center. We encourage researchers to become officially affiliated with WARC and to take advantage of the services and scholarly resources of the center. WARC affiliated scholars have preferential access to center facilities, including the WARC library, shared office space (as available), and personal mailboxes at WARC. Affiliated researchers may also inquire about renting private office space.
Researchers may request institutional affiliation with WARC by submitting a letter of request, along with the following information, to the WARC Director:
- Name
- Mailing Address
- email address
- Home Institution
- Discipline
- Name of advisor (if applicable)
- Brief description of research project

The affiliation fees per semester are listed below. Affiliation fees are due upon acceptance and should be made directly to WARC. In order to facilitate these transactions, we request that payment be in CFA, USD, Euro, or other currency serving as legal international tender. An affiliation card will be issued upon receipt of payment.
