The first STI in Africa Day will be held on 2 May 2023, 10 AM EST / 4 PM CEST, at the margins of the STI Forum in New York, with a focus on “STI4SDGs: Priority Areas, Levers and Actionable Steps for Africa”.
The first STI in in Africa Day has two main purposes:
- To serve as a vehicle for connecting the global community to cooperate, network, showcase, share experiences, build strategic alliances, and, wherever possible, set in motion concrete actions that advance Africa’s STI4SDGs priorities;
- To bring the outcomes of the African Regional Science, Technology and Innovation Forum to the global STI Forum and vice versa, with a view to guiding facilitative actions on both ends.
WFEO Former President, 2017-2019, Dr Marlene Kanga AO, will moderate the Thematic Session 2: “STI for High Productivity and Economic diversification in Africa”.
