"We will be sponsoring another set of 50 students from across Africa to Switzerland for training and we will equip them when they return.
"Our mode of selection of qualified students is very simple. The interested student will first apply through our portal online. After applying, CERN and Idalia organisation will do the selection together and qualified persons are selected and Idalia funds the trip.
"Idalia was established less than a year ago and we have a lot of long term and short term programs that will suit our mission and vision", he said.
