Afribcd Network

The African Brain and Cognitive Development (AfriBCD) network aims to bring together researchers and partners who are interested in neurodevelopmental research in Africa, spanning from pregnancy through adulthood. Our ethos is inclusivity; we have cast a wide net to bring together researchers who examine different life stages, using diverse methods. With this approach, we hope to showcase and support work that examines both cognitive and neural development, and its interactions with broader health and psychosocial factors. We strive to foster a truly global and open developmental science. With this goal in mind, we embrace open science principles, encourage active engagement, and support researchers in networking, collaborative projects, and accessing funding opportunities. Together, we can create an environment of knowledge sharing and intellectual growth.
