INNOVASOUTH Partnership
Latin America and Africa share many of the needs related to the Sustainable Development Goals. With COVID-19 this challenge has increased. This partnership provides a platform for students, young professionals, academics, and experts in Latin American countries to share their expertise and experience with each other. But it also promotes Knowledge Exchange activities with colleagues in Africa and globally.
The Coronavirus Visualization Team’s mission is to involve students in research projects, amplify the expertise and work of experts and frontline heroes through partnerships, and publish what others are missing to better inform the public on what has been and what will be most impacted.
