These senior researchers and scientists will have, for the first time, the opportunity to engage with them in person,\u201d added Cristina Molares D\u2019Abreu.<\/p>\n<p>The programme will feature over 40 speakers from CPLP countries and the diaspora, as well as presentations of scientific papers by around 60 selected young researchers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want local science to go out from here to the international community and bring value as Africans. We aim to move away from the view of Africa as poor or disadvantaged and transform the thinking of these young people so that they grow and recognise the value of this continent,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP) was established in 1996 to foster collaboration among Portuguese-speaking nations. This conference represents a significant step in promoting scientific research within these countries, particularly in Africa, where local knowledge and innovation are often undervalued. By bringing together young researchers, the CPLP aims to enhance scientific dialogue and collaboration across borders, encouraging a new generation of scientists to contribute to global knowledge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know Mozambique is hosting the IV Conference of Young Researchers of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP), expecting over 1,200 participants.
