2022 Community Meeting in Cape Town, South Africa​

16 - 18 October 2022

​

The ABIC Community Meeting is aimed at gathering Africa’s microscopists, biologists, data scientists, and science policy and community developers for a two-and-a half day event focused on empowering fundamental biology research in Africa. 

This annual meeting provides a platform for the community to share experiences, challenges,  and visions, strengthen community ties, and identify new avenues of action and advocacy. Each year important discussions and brainstorming sessions held during the Community Meeting are instrumental in defining the road ahead for ABIC. Other sessions focus on  facilitating dialogue with funders, policymakers, and commercial partners.

Key sessions of our community meeting will be made available online in a hybrid meeting format.

What will the meeting be about?

The meeting provides a platform for researchers from diverse academic landscapes to:

• share their research, challenges, and visions

• work together in developing goals and strategies that can benefit the community as a whole.

The Community Meeting will focus on pinpointing areas of the research environment in Africa that can benefit from collaborative effort and developing feasible approaches to achieve that.
