CRG Resource Extraction in Africa members
You may use the filters to find members with specific keywords, regions, personal names and/or institutes (if provided in the members' information). This also works with part of a word. Examples: 'econom' will yield a list of members who have 'economy' or 'economic' in their topical description. Keyword 'Birmingham' should yield a list of members affilitated to Birmingham University. You can use this filter in combination with the Search for a region or country-filter.
