In 2014, we partnered with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria to hold intensive hands-on biotechnology laboratory training workshop for students and research professionals across six countries in the sub-Saharan Africa region. This program was supported by the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), Ministry of Science and Technology, Nigeria.

In 2017 and 2018, we collaborated with the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge to co-organised a world-class hands-on Plant Molecular Biology Laboratory Training Workshop for 33 outstanding agricultural researchers from 10 African countries in Cambridge. The inaugural African Diaspora Biotech Summit took place alongside the workshop at the Sainsbury Laboratory, University of Cambridge.

In 2019, we partnered with the University of Cambridge and the University of Abomey-Calavi in Benin Republic to host a high-quality hands-on Plant Molecular Biology Laboratory Training Workshop for 100 excellent early-career agricultural researchers from 19 African nations in Benin Republic.

In 2021, We co-organised international workshops with the Centre for Dryland Agriculture, Bayero University, Kano (Nigeria), CSIR-Crops Research Institute, Kumasi (Ghana), and the Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST), Kakamega (Kenya). These high-quality workshops took place at the African institutions in collaboration with the Department of Plant Sciences (Plant Virology Group led by Prof. John P. Carr), University of Cambridge and generously funded by the Global Challenges Research Funds (GCRF).
