Save the date : June 30 , 2021
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
As announced during the 8th edition of the KFokam Conference on Science & Technology, the inaugural session of the Online (with zoom platform) monthly series of the KFokam Conference starts on June 30th, 2021.
Our first speaker will present on a topical issue: Research on vaccine against coronavirus.
This new concept aims at maintaining exchanges and at sharing knowledge between the actors of research and technological development on a permanent basis. Therefore, we will always stay connected in the quest for excellence, while awaiting our annual conference. In addition, a monthly conference series will help to be regularly updated on new research and technological development results. Thus, everyone will be able to contribute permanently to their implementation, which will enable the continent’s problems to be solved by improving its economy.
As you all know, these permanent exchanges are the strength of each researcher in his/her daily activities.
Date: Wednesday June 30, 2021
Time: 3pm – 5 pm (GMT time); please carefully check your time zone
Cameroon, Nigeria: 4pm – 6pm (GMT +1)
