Abstract:
Interest in stronger engagement and collaboration with African science seems to be peaking amongst international scientific organizations, global knowledge networks, and funders. This momentum is driven, at least in part, by the growing recognition that embracing African expertise ensures equity, diversity and inclusion in global scientific endeavours, enhances the quality and social relevance of such endeavours and strengthens global solidarity in the pursuit of knowledge and innovation in response to contemporary global challenges. This session focuses on engaging stakeholders regarding this two-way engagement, focusing on the current and future role of African science and its potential to transform lives.
