There are a wide range of scholars working on the DR Congo and we feel that it is important for us all to meet both to share our ideas and benefit from other researchers’ input.

And, finally, we hope that the Network will be able to facilitate ties with Congolese research communities and so act as a foundation for successful collaborative work between 'western' and Congolese scholars.
