Help keep African research open and accessible, forever.

Although Africa represents about 17% of the world's population, it contributes less than 3% of global research output. Nubian (formerly DeSci Nigeria) is building a decentralized research infrastructure to make under-represented research accessible to all.Your donation directly supports under-represented researchers, long-term preservation of African scholarship, and the community initiatives that keep this collective alive.
