Research Africa: Engineers Get to Grips With Materials Science

Engineering postgraduates will be immersed in materials science — sometimes described at the ‘‘science of stuff’’ — at next month’s Pan-African School of Materials (PASMAT).

The school will be held in Nigeria for the first time. It will run for two weeks in September on the campus of the African University of Science and Technology (AUST), located in Abuja.

Wole Soboyejo, who serves on the AUST scientific advisory board, said the school would take in about 20 students from African universities. The deadline for applications has been extended until tomorrow. Article here. (reposted with permission from Research Africa)
