TReND in Africa
Overview
TReND in Africa is a UK-based nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering scientific research and education in Africa. Founded in 2011 by Dr. Lucia Prieto Godino and Prof. Tom Baden, it is primarily run by a volunteer network of scientists from universities worldwide[1][4][5].
Mission
The organization supports African biomedical researchers by providing cutting-edge training, donating scientific equipment, promoting open technology, and engaging in community outreach. TReND believes in empowering local researchers to independently advance scientific knowledge and innovation across the continent[2][4].
Activities
- Training Courses: TReND offers advanced biomedical training programs to equip researchers with the latest skills and knowledge[2].
- Equipment Donations: The organization collects and ships essential scientific equipment to African universities to enhance research capabilities[2].
- Community Outreach: TReND organizes large events led by African researchers to promote science among school children and the broader public[2][4].
- Science Policy: TReND engages with government stakeholders and funding bodies to advocate for better research support in Africa[2].
Impact
TReND has successfully partnered with over 20 universities across more than 10 African countries, contributing to the establishment of significant research centers. A notable achievement includes founding the Institute for Biomedical Research in Ishaka, Uganda, which has secured major grants from organizations like the Wellcome Trust[4].
Structure
As of 2020, TReND's operations are supported by approximately 40 to 50 volunteer scientists on four continents[4][5]. The organization is now a registered charity in the UK, emphasizing its commitment to advancing scientific development in Africa[3][4].
