We were delighted to catch up with the Next Einstein Forum Ambassador to Angola, member of Global Shapers Luanda and Curator of the first edition of the Africa Science Week - Angola, Óscar António.
Driven by the desire to maximise both his potential and contribute to his country’s development, Óscar moved from his hometown Cabinda to Luanda in 2015 in search for greater opportunities.
