Africa Build Survey of Institutions working in Health Research and Informatics in Africa

The Africa Build Coordination action has launched a survey to characterize research / academic institutions that work in Health Research and Education and in Health Informatics in Africa.

Please complete this survey at http://paracelso.dia.fi.upm.es/surveys/instructions.php

The objective of the survey is to analyse the current requirements and needs that academic and research groups have in health and health informatics research.

The data obtained from this survey will be used to define strategies and future activities for these sectors. Based on the responses to this survey combined with an analysis of relevant literature, a concrete conception would be formulated as a foundation for future European activities in Africa.

AFRICA BUILD is a Coordination Action launched as a result of the FP7-Africa-2010 Call, aiming to support and develop advanced Centres of Excellence in health care, education and research in the African countries, through Information Technologies. It started in August 2010 for a 36-month period.
