In light of the situation relating to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the commemoration of icipe’s 50^th anniversary ceremony has been postponed from 3^rd April 2020 to 20^th November 2020, still being held at our Duduville Campus, Nairobi, Kenya.

The year 2020 marks the 50^th anniversary of the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe). 

icipe was established in 1970 by the late internationally renowned Kenyan scientist, Prof. Thomas Risley Odhiambo, at a time when the very notion that insect science – or indeed, the then woefully small indigenous scientific communities – could contribute to a prosperous future for Africa must have seemed audacious to say the least.
