In line with its commitment to openness and inclusion, France‑BioImaging launched the FBI Africa‑France initiative: a dedicated program supporting scientific collaboration and capacity building between imaging communities in France and African countries.
Through specific calls for projects, the initiative funds mobility, training, and research projects carried out by students, early‑career researchers and faculty from African universities and institutions. Since 2023, it has supported over ten collaborative projects, addressing questions from infectious diseases to plant biology and climate resilience.
By facilitating access to state‑of‑the‑art imaging technologies, promoting knowledge exchange and nurturing new scientific networks, FBI Africa‑France contributes to strengthening research capacity and addressing shared scientific and societal challenges on both continents.
