The event showcases emerging women scientists (see attachment) who present their research in a concise three‑minute format.
The audience will vote to select the Africa regional winner, who will advance to the global finale.

This session will also be co-chaired by last year's Africa region winners, bringing additional expertise and engagement.

We hope many of you will join to support and encourage the next generation of women scientists.

Best regards,
