九州影院

The Pan Africa 九州影院 Network in Kenya

We currently have centres for scientific activity in four African countries. Our Kenyan Hub helps to coordinate the work we do for the chemical sciences across the continent, while acting as the focal point for local networking and training.

We work closely with three partner universities and the Kenyan Chemical Society to support and connect those working in the chemical sciences.

Our partner universities include ,  and .

Kenyan Hub activity includes:

• Enhancing collaboration between the government, researchers, industries and communities by organising scientific events and conferences – including the PACN Congress in 2009, , 2016 and 2018.
• Analytical training courses, hosted by JKUAT since 2009. After being initiated at this Hub, the courses are now used to train analytical chemists across Africa. We have now trained almost 500 chemists in Kenya alone.
• A collaboration with P&G which involved an internship with University of Nairobi and the provision of equipment and staff to the university to support their water quality monitoring work in the Kiberia district.
• Regional and national support for the Kenya Science and Engineering Fair to promote scientific careers and public appreciation for chemistry’s role in Africa’s future.
