In this podcast, we speak to Michel Benard, director of Open Innovations for HP International; Ibrahima Niang, director of the computing center at the University Cheikh Anta Diop, Dakar, Senegal; and Benjamin Ogwo, Senior Lecturer at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka about UNESCO-HP's Brain Gain project.
Many nations in Africa and the Arab region are losing highly skilled professionals to more developed countries. UNESCO and HP are engaged in a joint effort to reverse this trend. The project links university researchers who have stayed in their home countries to scientific resources beyond their borders and to colleagues in the Diaspora.
