Pan Africa Chemistry Network


PACN Banner
Building on the tremendous success of the Archives for Africa, which was launched in Addis Ababa and Westminster in 2006, the Pan Africa Chemistry Network represents an innovative approach to working with universities, schools, scientists, teachers, and students in Africa.   

With a special focus on the Millennium Development Goals and the countries of Central Africa, the Network will ultimately span the entire Continent.

Launched in London on 21 November 2007 and in Nairobi on 27 May 2008, the Pan Africa Chemistry Network is in the early stages of development. The PANC aims to help African countries to integrate into regional, national and international scientific networks.
