Scientific research is the cornerstone of innovation and progress. It drives solutions to pressing challenges, from improving healthcare and advancing technology to addressing climate change and fostering sustainable development. In regions where research thrives, societies flourish, and lives improve. Yet, despite Africa being home to diverse cultures, abundant resources, and a rapidly growing population, it remains severely underrepresented in global research activity.
“Senior scientists can make a difference—raise outstanding scientists in these regions.
On this website, you can find various projects posted by African students. Click below to see what they are working on and how you can help.
The continent faces a myriad of challenges—disease outbreaks, food insecurity, and environmental degradation—that demand scientific solutions. However, limited infrastructure, inadequate funding, and a lack of mentorship stifle the potential of budding scientists. This disparity not only hinders progress but also leaves Africa heavily reliant on external solutions that may not be tailored to its unique needs.
Recognizing this gap, the eMENTOR program was established to bridge it.
WHAT IS eMENTOR ALL ABOUT?
By connecting senior scientists from resource-abundant countries with aspiring researchers in Africa, we aim to nurture talent, empower innovation, and catalyze change where it is needed most. Your expertise can be the guiding light that transforms challenges into opportunities, fostering a brighter future for Africa and the global scientific community. Join us and be part of this transformative journey. Together, we can ensure no talent is left untapped.
