Royal Society of Chemistry's Pan Africa Chemistry Network (PACN)

Anthias Consulting is part of an ambitious partnership working with the Royal Society of Chemistry and GSK. This partnership is increasing the analytical chemistry skills across Africa, with courses held courses in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria. This training programme aims to up-skill and empower scientists in Africa and develop practical analytical techniques to solve local challenges and contribute to global scientific knowledge. Find out more about the partnership on the RSC website.
