The workshop aims to promote debate and exchange of views on the challenges and opportunities of carrying out research in Africa and in collaboration with Africa. Two fellows awarded by the Women for Africa Foundation will tell their stories about their research experience in Africa. Cristina Pujades will explain her involvement in training activities in Kenia in collaboration with “TReND in Africa” (Teaching and Research in (Neuro)science for Development in Africa), a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteer scientists at universities worldwide.

Caenorhabditis elegans has long been a leading model organism for the study of animal development and behaviour. The C. elegans community continues to produce scientific breakthroughs and technological advances at a high pace. We invite you to attend the upcoming EMBO Workshop: C. elegans Development, Cell Biology, and Gene Expression, in association with European C. elegans Meeting, for the latest cutting-edge research.
