This three day event was graciously hosted by The American University of Nigeria (AUN) in Yola Nigeria and offered researchers the chance to introduce themselves and their works to one another, create and strengthen networks, and explore collaboration opportunities. The meeting was held in conjunction with an associated conference to introduce the types of work being done in relation to this research partnership and on its forthcoming works.

From October 27-30, 2018, researchers for the project discussed new ideas, developed partnerships and planned future collaborations. For conference and meeting details, Project coordinator Bruno Véras prepared a comprehensive report and minutes of meetings available here in PDF format.
