AAMPS – The Fellowship Programme
The AAMPS Fellowship Programme is one of the key new
activities of the Association.
The aim of the AAMPS Fellowship Programme is:
- To develop a network of young African scientists
and researchers
- To stimulate African based applied research in the field
of quality assurance and standardisation of African
medicinal plants and plant-based natural products
- To build up a continent-wide base of young supporters
for AAMPS and its purpose and objectives
Research subjects will primarily focus on filling knowledge
gaps with regards to plants selected for AAMPS
Monographs in terms of their botany, phytochemistry,
pharmacology, traditional and modern uses as well as their
safety and efficacy.
Collaboration
The AAMPS Fellowship Programme is organised in close
collaboration with the International Foundation for Science
(IFS) www.ifs.se.
IFS operates internationally with the mission to build
the scientific capacity of developing countries in sciences
related to the sustainable management of biological and
water resources.
African universities and research centres working in the
field of natural products and phytochemistry will also play
a crucial role in supervising the research work undertaken
under the AAMPS Fellowship Programme.
