A continental science advocacy platform has launched the hunt for the next batch of Africa's brightest science brains.
The Next Einstein Forum, an initiative of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences and the Robert Bosch Stiftung, a German foundation, will select 15 fellows to star at their second NEF Gathering in Rwanda in 2018.
The application process opens on 15 December, and closes on 27 January 2017. The winners will be announced on 15 June next year.
