We offer researchers and students a regional hub of research, innovation, and capacity building in the Congo Basin whether at our Yaoundé accommodations, education facilities, research facilities, or field stations.

CBI strongly encourages robust collaboration with Cameroonian researchers. Local collaborators are also required for research permits issued by the Government of Cameroon. We recommend that visiting international scientists promote substantive collaboration by integrating local researchers into the design of the project, budgeting for funds to support local collaborators, and analyzing data in partnership with local collaborators.
