Creating a Network-of-Network in Food & Nutrition Research
Calling on Food Researchers in the Science for Africa Network!
Science for Africa is developing a network of networks in food research: By connecting relevant entities (eg, professional societies, university departments, and government agencies) in food & nutritional health research across sub-Saharan Africa, the US, and Europe, we seek to facilitate the identification of strategic research partners and the sharing of resources, and information for scientists in our network.
Our ask: Help us better support you in identifying research collaborators and resources, by listing entities, organizations, and agencies in food and nutritional health research in your country or abroad, using this google form.

The Network Startup Resource Center works directly with the indigenous network engineers and operators who develop and maintain the Internet infrastructure in their respective countries and regions by providing technical information, engineering assistance, training, donations of networking books, equipment and other resources. The end goal in this work is to make it easier for local scientists, engineers and educators to collaborate via the Internet with their international colleagues by helping to connect communities of interest.
