Abstract

In this paper, we describe the implementation of the MooSciTIC summer schools, a capacity-building initiative targeting West African research scientists and higher education teachers. Throughout the three years of the project, we provided on-site courses and practicals on cross-disciplinary aspects such as scientific writing, communication and integrity, in the aim of improving the self-reliance of researchers and upgrading research practices throughout the sub-region. We explain how the program was designed and implemented and we show the positive outcomes it generated for our former trainees within a relatively short period, hoping to inspire similar initiatives to follow our steps.
