Support and solidarity with Sudanese Researchers!

Have you read our blog about Sudan and ways how you can support Sudanese people and researchers in such difficult times?

We have launched a collection research dedicated to research related and originating from Sudan, which will keep showcasing scholarly excellence from Sudan as a demonstration of solidarity with researchers who are unable to continue their work.

If you are interested in supporting Sudanese researchers and scholars, we invite you to consider a contribution for the Sudanese Researchers Foundation and their journal, the African Journal of Engineering & Technology (AJET).
