ECA convenes the "Science with Africa" conference to foster scientific development and research in Africa

Abstract

The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) will organize, in collaboration with the African Union Commission and other partners, a Conference entitled “Science with Africa”. Discussions will focus on how African Research and Development (R&D) can be strengthened by addressing capacity needs, increasing usability of research outputs, fostering interaction among African scientists and other stakeholders. The overall objective is to increase the participation of African scientists in international research projects and thus turn science and technology into valid options for economic growth in Africa.
