This workshop is supported by GSK as part of our five-year partnership to enhance the capabilities of African scientists in modern analytical techniques. We will train more than 400 African scientists by 2020, as well as training Local Trainers to train others, leaving a self-sustaining programme and a lasting legacy. These courses will take place in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria in 2019.
The Pan Africa Chemistry Network was set up by the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 to advance the chemical sciences across Africa by building a self-sustaining science base. This expanded analytical science training programme will develop your practical analytical techniques to solve local challenges and contribute to global scientific knowledge.
Applications are invited for the above training course; we welcome applications from researchers, lecturers, technicians, MSc students and PhD students in the chemical sciences from Universities and research institutions across Africa.
The training course will cover the practical aspects of Gas Chromatography, method development, quantitative analysis and spectral interpretation of GC-MS. This course has been independently verified through peer review and formally approved by 澳门六合彩开奖记录 to be of high quality and suitable for professional development of chemical scientists.
Please note: For chemists in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria, you should only apply to attend the course in your home country, your application will not be considered for courses in other countries. For those in other countries, please apply to your closest option. For example, those from Tanzania should apply to Kenya, and those from Cameroon should apply to Ghana.
Also, delegates who have attended a previous PACN GC-MS course in Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria or Ghana are not eligible to attend again. This is a repeat of the course.
Please note 鈥� we receive high number of applications for these courses. So, please take your time to consider your answers to the questions in the form, as this will be the basis for your acceptance/rejection.
