We are proud to announce the launch of the African STARS Fellowship programme, a milestone for Africa. Our first call attracted over 3 000 applicants for just 40 fellowships, which was an extraordinary response that highlights Africa’s scientific talent. A 12-member selection committee from CERI, KRISP, and Institut Pasteur de Dakar carefully reviewed candidates. The first 20 fellows, now in Stellenbosch, have impressed us with their passion and brilliance.
