                          WHO ARE WE?

JUAMI-Charz is a Materials Characterization Initiative associated with the Joint Undertaking for an African Materials Institute (JUAMI).

​We aim to support researchers in connecting with characterization equipment suited to answer their research questions and, if desired, provide a collaborative relationship intended to guide them towards formulating and testing their scientific questions.  ​

Collaborations​ are key

If you are considering a collaboration through the JUAMI-Charz network, we invite you to complete the general interest form.​
