The STFC Food Network+ (SFN) would like to invite you to official launch event of our African network. The SFN brings together scientists and technologists from the UK’s advanced research infrastructure (STFC) with research and industry in the agrifood sector. We are an interdisciplinary community working to provide a sustainable, secure supply of safe, nutritious, and affordable high-quality food using less land, with reduced inputs, and in the context of global climate change and declining natural resources.

Who should attend?
Anyone with interests in agrifood sector, including researchers, industry, and civil society organisations; scientists and technologists working in robotics, AI, sensing technologies, space science and astronomy, particle/nuclear physics, and data science.

The launch will cover:

• What the SFN does, what type of projects we fund, and how you can get involved
• How UK advanced research infrastructure supports R&D in food and agri-tech, and how you utilise these resources via the SFN
• The various collaborative/networking opportunities available via the SFN
