Life scientists in Africa have had limited opportunity to participate in international advanced scientific training programs and workshops, which largely benefit researchers in North America, Europe and the Asia–Pacific region. Here, we chronicle the strategies adopted and challenges encountered in organizing Imaging Africa, an all-expenses-paid, continent-wide practical workshop in optical microscopy hosted in South Africa from 13 to 17 January 2020. Our experience can help steer other groups who similarly seek to organize impactful and sustainable training initiatives in Africa.

非洲成像：非洲光学显微镜培训的战略方法

非洲的生命科学家参加国际先进科学培训计划和讲​​习班的机会有限，这在很大程度上使北美、欧洲和亚太地区的研究人员受益。在这里，我们记录了在组织 Imaging Africa 过程中所采用的策略和遇到的挑战，这是一个于 2020 年 1 月 13 日至 17 日在南非举办的全大陆光学显微镜实践研讨会。寻求在非洲组织有影响力和可持续的培训计划。
