    Nemedussa Consortium Meeting and 2nd Panema Workshop
    (2023) Bonuke, Nchore
    Established in 2021, in the framework of the Erasmus+ project Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE): Nematology Education in Sub-Sahara Africa (NEMEDUSSA), PANEMA (PanAfrican Nematology Network) aims to promote networking and academic exchange between nematologists working in Africa. The focus of the PANEMA workshop is on sharing good educational practices, creating and strengthening networks between higher education institutes (HEIs) and other stakeholders, and providing additional educational opportunities for those working in agriculture and nematology. The workshop intended to have a good balance between seminars and hands-on practice in the field and lab, to enhance life-long learning and create opportunities for interactive discussions and networking between stakeholders. It was also a platform where students and African nematologists showcased their projects and research. Next to nematode-related topics such as ‘Nematology and the One Earth Approach’, the workshop focused on training in scientific communication skills to create better awareness about nematodes. This workshop was open to farmers, agricultural extension workers, students, researchers, nematologists and interested parties. In view of the above, I was invited to attend a Consortium meeting and 2 nd PANEMA Workshop to report back to the project on the progress and achievements of the project at KU and also present a poster on the Impact of NEMEDUSSA Project at KU for a period of one week from 27th February to 5 th March 2023 at the University of Mpumalanga, Mbombela, Johannesburg, South Africa. The Consortium meeting targeted beneficiaries of NEMEDUSSA Project from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), Private partners and students from SSA and Europe. The target institutions:  University Abomey-Calavi, Benin  University of Parakou, Benin  Haramaya University, Ethiopia  Jimma University, Ethiopia  Kenyatta University, Kenya  Moi University, Kenya  Ahmadu-Bello University, Nigeria  University of Ibadan, Nigeria  North West University, South Africa  Stellenbosch University, South Africa  Makerere University, Uganda  Muni University, Uganda  University Côte d’Azur, France
