About African Academics Network
The African Academics Network (AAN) is a premier organization dedicated to fostering academic excellence, research collaboration, and professional development among African scholars worldwide. We bridge the gap between academia in Africa and the global diaspora.
Founded in 2021, AAN has grown to become a leading platform connecting over 2,000 distinguished scholars, researchers, professors and academics across Nigeria and the diaspora, facilitating knowledge exchange, mentorship, and collaborative research initiatives.
