Assessment of the week
FINAL ROUND TABLE
A final round table was performed to discuss how to sustain such training, which does not exist in universities in Burkina Faso, to define the needs in students and researchers bioinformatics in the International Joint Laboratory and, more broadly, institutes in Burkina Faso and to devise possible scenarios/solutions to meet these needs.
