ACTIVITES OF THE SOCIETY

Information Exchange

The primary mechanism of information exchange available to NAPRECA Kenya members and other individuals is participation at our Annual General Meeting, Seminar days and Summer School. A broad range of topics are covered at NAPRECA meetings through both oral and poster sessions. A workshop session is usually available at the beginning of the meeting for those looking for more in-depth knowledge on a related subject area, as well as informal meetings among the attendees..

NAPRECA (Kenya) also welcomes support and collaboration from organizations and R and D sponsors of scientific meetings and their participation in dissemination of information to the public, private and government sectors.

Communication

The NAPRECA Kenya shall soon start to publish an electronic newsletter as its primary communication tool to the membership. The NAPRECA (Kenya) Newsletter shall feature articles on activities of its membership as well as emerging issues in natural products science around the world.

Information such as annual meetings, constitution, sub-committees, elections, scholarships, research grants, journals, members’ publications, postdoctoral opportunities and other activities will be included in the newsletter. The newsletter shall be made available online and some copies distributed.

 

Education

Napreca (Kenya) will continue to explore the opportunities to participate in the education of students and educators, the general public, governments, and the private sector on the importance of natural products and their application. In the past, NAPRECA (Kenya) in conjunction with different sponsors has offered Student Travel Awards to students who participate in NAPRECA Meetings by giving an oral or poster presentation.
