During the first week of June a delegation of prominent African scientists will be visiting our faculty. They will engage in multiple discussions with the leadership of the university aimed at  strengthening collaborations with African partners. In particular, the meetings will focus on identifying effective strategies leading to more students and staff exchanges, institutional partnerships and long-lasting research collaborations. On June 7th, last day of their visit, we will have a concluding meeting open to interested participants from the Faculty of Science. We will report on the main outcomes of the discussions of the previous two days and work towards concrete action points and a roadmap for the future. There will be time for questions and interactions with our guests.
