About my site

The site is hosted for the H3Africa and DS-I Africa consortia. Rolanda Julius has been a site coordinator since 2022 and the team hosts approximately 1-2 courses per year depending on the members training needs. At this site, participants are multinational from across Africa. Regular online meetings are scheduled but the participants may engage in-person as well should the course timelines coincide with annual in-person consortium meetings. To date the site has had a high completion rate and received praise from project principal investigators and funder institutions. While course participant eligibility is usually restricted to the organization, the site would welcome non- members. Please do get in touch with Rolanda should you be interested to join a course for which they are hosting a site.
