About This Opportunity
Parakletus Hub Nigeria presents the Global South Index (GSI) Buildathon — a one-day, in-person event centred on building the future of research. Taking place at the Rivers State ICT Training Centre (TechCreek) in Port Harcourt, the event brings together builders, researchers, and innovators to collaborate on tools and ideas that advance research infrastructure across the Global South. The event also offers volunteer opportunities for those who want to contribute without competing directly.
