The Science with Africa initiative aims for African sustainability by transferring and sharing R&D knowledge with the African continent. Exploring how African science oriented organizations can increase their level and range of participation in international R&D projects will realize this goal. Africa and the developed world alike will benefit from deepening scientific collaboration, which will be a major tool towards achieving the MDGs.
As its name indicates, the Science with Africa conference symbolizes a joint effort between Africa and its partners to promote and enhance the role of science and technology in the continent's development. The global research collaboration highlights the spirit behind this unique project. The conference will provide a network to create synergies and increase the level of and range of participation in international R&D projects between African science-based organizations and businesses and their global counterparts.
The conference will bring together African and international scientists, experts in the areas of science project management, dissemination, partnering, intellectual property & patents, research management and the commercialization and exploitation of research results. Science policy evaluation methodologies will also be presented in order to improve the scope and effectiveness of science policy options and legislation in African states and the programmes supported and implemented through such legislation.
