Support NEF
The Next Einstein Forum (NEF) is a platform that brings together leading thinkers in science, policy, industry and civil society in Africa to leverage science to solve global challenges.
Financial support is critical to sustaining the work of the NEF. Funds and other support help promote a global campaign focused on promoting African scientific advancement and promote year-round dialogue about issues in science and technology in Africa.
Benefits to supporters. Our supporters build critical support for African scientific innovation; helping to tell often untold stories of scientific advancement from across the continent. Supporters receive a subscription to our weekly newsletter, an invitation to our biennial NEF Global Gathering, exclusive list of contacts, and recognition in our online and printed products and reports.
The NEF is always looking for ways to expand its community of supporters. We welcome gifts to support our operations, programmes and projects.
Here are ways to connect to build awareness of African scientific discovery and innovation.
Individuals
Individual contributions that support the NEF mission are welcome. In addition to giving financial contributions, individual supporters can also participate by subscribing to our newsletter, submitting a story for publishing on NEF platforms or serving as NEF Ambassadors.
