National Biomechanics Day in Nigeria
The Institute Since 2021, Nigeria has hosted the National Biomechanics Day (NBD) to introduce biomechanics to high school students in the country as part of strategy to get more people into biomechanics and biomechanics-related disciplines. Hundreds of undergraduates, high school students and their teachers have participated in these events over the last three years.
This year, Dr Sunday Adelakun at the Federal University of Technology, has received an Outreach Award from the Biomechanics Initiative, the parent body of the national biomechanics day, to organize NBD in Nigeria. This year’s event which is schedule to hold on the 3rd of April 2024, will be co-hosted by the biomechanics communities at Elizade University and Federal University of Technology, Akure, both in Nigeria. We are hoping to use this avenue, like always, to stimulate more young Nigerians to pursue careers in biomechanics and biomechanics-related disciplines. The program will include presentations from great biomechanists from around the globe as well as a tour of biomechanics research facilities at these two Universities.
