ABOUT CePAPS
The Centre for Pan African and Peace Studies (CePAPS) at the African University of Science and Technology (AUST) is part of an international Pan-African institution founded in 2007, inspired by African leaders and Nelson Mandela’s vision for strengthening sub-Saharan Africa's science and technology capacity.
