Champions of Science Africa Storytelling Challenge

We are calling on all scientists and innovators in Africa to showcase their stories. By amplifying the stories of scientific innovation taking place across Africa and the impact it is having on families, communities and the world, we hope to build public engagement and support for science, and inspire Africa’s young women and men to pursue careers in science and innovation.

Opportunity Desk

Opportunity Desk (OD) is an online platform that bridges the gap to education by sharing information on relevant learning and growth opportunities for youth around the world.

Diversity Tickets

diversitytickets.org is a Travis Foundation app which helps conference organisers who have partnered with us reach out to minority groups by offering them ticket and travel grants. They can do so by adding their own event/conference and specifying how many tickets will be given away. Once the event is approved, it becomes publicly listed on the website and applicants can apply for it.
