In May 2024, the University of Bordeaux and the Gamal Abdel Nasser University of Conakry (UGANC) have launched a new Inter-University Diploma (DIU) delivered at UGANC, Conakry.
The program will address the specific challenges of conducting ethical and impactful clinical research in resource-limited settings. The program provides comprehensive training on research fundamentals, with a focus on ethical, regulatory, and anthropological considerations pertinent to Africa. The DIU also ambitions to foster a collaborative learning environment, encouraging students from diverse backgrounds to learn from each other’s experiences. This collaboration will be enhanced by the involvement of experienced researchers and practitioners who will bring valuable insights from their work in the field.
The DIU will admit its first cohort in the 2024-2025 academic year, with a capacity of 10 to 30 students annually. Eligible candidates include students in the second cycle of medical, pharmaceutical, and dental studies, as well as doctors, pharmacists, and dental surgeons.
