Masterclasses

Masterclasses are practical, skills-development workshops led by national or international experts who provide hands-on training on specialised equipment housed at the IDM. Designed to benefit multiple research groups, these sessions enhance technical capacity across the Institute.

Visiting Scientist

These sessions bring together world-class scientists, thought leaders, and emerging talent from across Africa and around the globe. As part of the visit, the invited scientist is expected to present at least one seminar and engage with research groups through lab visits and collaborative discussions.
