The Pan Africa Chemistry Network in Nigeria
We currently have centres for scientific activity in four African countries. These Hubs coordinate the work we do for the chemical sciences across the continent, and act as focal points for local networking and training.
We work closely with our partner universities to support and connect the Nigerian scientific community.
Our partner universities include University of Jos, University of Lagos and University of Ibadan.
The PACN has brought together scientists and policy makers to address the developmental issues of the African continent
Nigerian Hub activity includes:
- Analytical science training courses, previously conducted in partnership with GSK, where participants gain specialist GC-MS knowledge. These courses, are now regular events for analytical chemistry in Nigeria and are supported by Local Trainers from the universities of Lagos and Ibadan.
- A multi-year collaboration with P&G to run industry-academia collaborative symposia and many internships at the University of Lagos. It also provided equipment for the university’s analytical chemistry labs.
- Support for scientific events and conferences.
