The objective of Nemedussa is to reach a structural, broader and sustainable impact in nematology education by developing and integrating nematology curricula in African Universities in collaboration with the international master's in Agro- and Environmental Nematology (IMaNema) from Ghent University and the international master's in Biocontrol Solutions for Plant Health (BOOST) from Université Côte d'azur.
