Partner with us
Support the next generation of African biomedical scientists and align your organisation with world-class research across the continent.
The Crick Africa Network (CAN), funded by LifeArc, is an equitable partnership of five African research institutes and the Francis Crick Institute in London. Our annual meeting convenes fellows, alumni, supervisors, funders, and institutional leaders to share research, strengthen collaborations, and shape the future of African science.
By sponsoring the CAN Annual Meeting 2027, your organisation aligns with a programme that drives real scientific impact and supports the development of Africa's next generation of research leaders.
CAN connects leading laboratories and research centres across Africa, many with advanced core facilities and active equipment procurement pipelines. Sponsors gain exposure to decision-makers who directly influence purchasing and long-term institutional partnerships.
CAN Fellows rapidly progress into group leaders, heads of divisions, and principal investigators. Many credit CAN as the platform that launched their independence.
Supporting CAN sends a strong signal of commitment to equitable research ecosystems and long-term capacity building - an increasingly important priority for global biomedical science suppliers and funders.
CAN creates real scientific partnerships. The Network is viewed across Africa as a catalyst for excellence, bringing together a community of early- and mid-career researchers who share information, experiences, and collaborations.
