A student who collaborated with peers on the other side of the world, all while remaining on campus, says the “special” experience has prepared her for a move abroad.
Africa needs long term investment in scientific infrastructure and science careers to allow the continent to adapt to climate change and its effect on weather systems.
Partners from across Africa gathered in Leeds for a week of research dedicated to tackling challenges in food systems and supply chains.
A pioneering radio astronomy project, introducing skills and expertise to countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, has received a funding boost to continue its transformational work.
