I participate at climapAfrica because...
In general, it is an important platform to foster collaboration between us the African young scientists and to promote interaction with scientists from other parts of the word. In my specific case it allows me to contribute to science in West-Africa, which is still one of the least developed world regions regarding scientific production.
