Royal Museum For Central Africa

The Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA) is a Belgian federal scientific institute and multidisciplinary research centre dedicated to the past and present natural and human environments of Africa (with a focus on Central Africa). Integrating natural-science (earth systems, biodiversity) and social-science (anthropology, history) disciplines, RMCA advances field-work, collection-based research, and partnerships with African institutions to generate knowledge on environments, societies and adaptation in the context of rapid environmental change. With unique collections (rock/wood/biological/archival) and strong collaborative networks, RMCA supports hydrological-systems, climate-change and adaptation research in the African tropics.
