Coming soon: the third cohort of the Neuropsychopharmacology Training Programme for Early- and Mid-Career African Researchers, scheduled to take place from June 7–12, 2026, at the Aga Khan University Centre in Nairobi, Kenya.
Hosted by the African College of Neuropsychopharmacology, this intensive week-long programme will convene over 25 early- and mid-career professionals from across Africa, including neuroscientists, psychiatrists, neurologists, pharmacologists, clinical psychologists, and other mental health researchers and practitioners.
The programme is designed to strengthen research capacity, promote interdisciplinary and continental collaboration, and equip participants with contemporary, cutting-edge research skills and professional networks necessary to address Africa’s evolving mental health and brain health challenges through precision neuropsychopharmacology and evidence-based practice.
Participants will benefit from expert-led lectures, mentorship engagements, peer-to-peer learning, research presentations, and professional development sessions aimed at nurturing the next generation of African leaders in neuroscience, psychiatry, and mental health research.
The programme is organized by the African College of Neuropsychopharmacology in collaboration with the AKU Brain & Mind Institute and the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology
We look forward to another impactful training experience as we continue advancing scientific excellence, collaboration, and leadership in neuropsychopharmacology and brain health research across Africa.
