Together with Fiona Wanjiku Moejes, a CEO at The Mawazo Institute we have dreamed of bringing together a diverse group of young, motivated, early career researchers, driven by the need of protecting our environment, and equip them with basic necessary computational skills. We wanted to provide a nurturing environment where our participants will have a chance to learn, interact and exchange. VolkswagenStiftung believed in our dream and provided financing to organize a two weeks school in Computational Biology for a Sustainable Environmental Research #CBSER.
