Leonardo Simão, along with members of his EDCTP team, visited CISA to promote the opportunities made available by EDCTP to Angola.

Leonardo Simão affirmed that he would like “Angola to become part of EDCTP in order to boost and strengthen the coverage of this region and because the program was set up to support African countries” before then emphasising the need for African countries to invest in research fields such as scientific production, which requires producing in Africa for the world, the training of human resources, investment in infrastructures and the regulations/legislation in effect for the development of research.
