Research projects

This page contains a series of research posters generated from the CoE-MaSS Annual Research Meeting in September 2018, and the Popular Writing Workshop in 2021, in conjunction with Jive Media Africa. The aim is to highlight our CoE-MaSS Emerging Rresearchers, provide them with online exposure, and stimulate public awareness of the day-to-day relevance of their scientific research.
