About TReND in Africa

Mission Statement: STOP the Brain-drain! "TReND in Africa" (Teaching and Research in Natural Sciences for Development in Africa) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving university level science education and research in sub-Saharan Africa. Run by a small group of young research scientists at different Western universities, TReND seeks to foster scientific excellence and collaboration in the region through organizing local neuroscience courses for young African scientists. Moreover, we promote and coordinate the collection of monetary and equipment donations towards the establishment of permanent research facilities at Africa’s top universities. In the future we also envisage the establishment of academic stipends for young African researchers, fostering international projects and collaborations. Although our efforts are focused on the promotion of neuroscientific research, education projects are urgently needed in all areas of higher education, ranging from natural sciences through to economics. We are therefore dedicated to encourage and support likeminded projects in other disciplines with our experience and extensive network of local contacts.
