Projects – Science Advice Skills Development Programme
Since 2022, INGSA-Africa has been running the Science Advice Skills Development Programme (SASDP), matching early and mid-career African scientists with experienced science advice practitioners from all over the world – in a unique, project-focused mentoring program. The project has proven so successful that the number of applicants and places in the program have continued to expand. INGSA-Africa is looking for partners interested in supporting the Chapter to expand the project further!
