About the Network

The Network aims to:
Support the teaching of chemistry in schools via courses for teachers, provision of materials and resources which will be made available to schools.
Support chemistry in Higher Education by running courses and providing training to allow scientists to make better use of resources such as the RSC archive; and provide some extra digitisation of other materials to African scientists.
Promoting intra Africa scientific networking and conferencing on the key science issues facing the continent with a view to supporting the development of sustainable science programmes and expertise.
Establish centres of excellence for the chemical sciences to support economic & human development.
