DESCRIPTION:Although Africa accounts for 24% of the global burden of disea
 se\, the majority of related\nbiomedical research still happens in Western
  countries. The scientific independence of Africa\nwould mean that scienti
 sts across the continent are able to set their own research\nagenda and de
 velop their own solutions. TReND in Africa aims to support scientific\ncap
 acity development by providing researchers with training\, expertise and e
 quipment\nrequired for undertaking research. They are a group of scientist
  volunteers spread all around\nthe world. Between them they run training c
 ourses which attract scientists\nfrom all across Africa\, ship over equipm
 ent to help universities set up new labs\, and send\nover science voluntee
 rs for working placements at African Universities. The speakers\nwill disc
 uss their work and how you can join them!
