Public Lecture Series: Academic Inspiration & Mentoring Project (AIM) for Supporting Sudanese Researchers

The ongoing violent political conflict in Sudan has affected the professional careers of many young Sudanese researchers. This conflict has rendered numerous academic institutions inoperable and displaced countless individuals, including many scientists and scholars. The AIM project offers support and guidance to young Sudanese researchers who are affected by the current political crisis in Sudan through a series of three public lectures and six weeks of a tailor-made mentorship program.

This public lecture series fosters a resilient, connected, and mutually supportive Sudanese academic community. Outstanding Sudanese scientists and scholars deliver inspiring public lectures where participants will learn strategies for navigating through challenging times.

The public lectures will cover the following topics:
