It is with great pleasure to announce the 2^nd African Symposium on Mycotoxicology entitled “Mitigating mycotoxin contamination in the African food and feed chain”, hosted by Dr. Bradley Flett and Dr. Sheila Okoth.

The 1^st African Symposium on Mycotoxicology held in 2015 in Zambia caused the willing to organize this 2^nd symposium with the effort to address the threat of mycotoxins to food production systems, health care and trade on the African continent. MYTOX-SOUTH will take actively part in this symposium by organizing a special MYTOX-SOUTH session (evening 25/06/2018). Short-talks on “EU perspective on collaboration with Africa”, “African perspective on collaboration with EU” and “Funding opportunities” will be executed by MYTOX-SOUTH. Moreover, three excellent cases of results dissemination through collaboration between North and South partners will be presented: Zimbabwe, Malawi and Nigeria. MYTOX-SOUTH encourages all mycotoxin researchers to attend the 2^nd African Symposium on Mycotoxicology.

See you in Kenya!
