PACN Hubs
Our four Hubs, set up in collaboration with academic and corporate partners, focus our work across the continent.
To develop a sustainable and innovative science base, Africa needs adequately trained personnel, specialised equipment and resources to support teaching and research in the chemical sciences.
The Hubs provide regional centres for training and conferences, networking and access to some of the latest technology in key areas of chemistry. Our events and activities are open to scientists across Africa and the globe.
The PACN LinkedIn community
The Pan Africa Chemistry Network LinkedIn group is for everyone wishing to connect with others and stay up to date with events, opportunities and the latest discussions.
Royal Society of Chemistry member networks
There are currently 799 Royal Society of Chemistry members in 22 countries across Africa, all of whom have the opportunity to join local networks as part of that membership. Royal Society of Chemistry membership can help you network with other scientists in your region, build new partnerships and get involved in the campaigns, events and activities run by our African representatives and local sections.
