In June 2024, Patrick MEMVANGA, coordinator of CRITESS and PI-RAM projects, conducted a 3-day working stay in Lithuania, specifically at the Babtai Horticulture Institute, where he formalized a scientific collaboration contract that will result in the mobility of the best innovators from CRITESS and PI-RAM to carry out their doctoral research in the field of nanotechnologies applied to sustainable agriculture and food production. The CRITESS and PI-RAM coordinator also visited Belgium, where many contacts and commitments were also made and many commitments signed.

The CRITESS and PI-RAM of the University of Kinshasa are among the 15 third-party projects funded by PDTIE under the ACP Innovation Fund.
