The African Union’s Agenda 2063 underscores the importance of education science and technology as a central pillar in the continent’s long-term vision for a more prosperous and unified Africa, driving forward the aspirations for inclusive growth and sustainable development for all. In a rapidly changing world, where technology, globalization, climate change, demographic and social dynamics are reshaping every aspect of our lives, education is undergoing a transformational change. Africa must rethink its higher education to be more inclusive, creative and innovative and embrace scientific excellence to address its development challenges and accelerate industrialisation for the Africa we want.

Over the years, the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) has embarked on research leaders’ programmes that provide vibrant pathways for research and innovation exchanges for early and mid-career researchers to advance sustainable and inclusive development, economic growth and job creation. Current research assessment methods for scientific excellence rely heavily on publication-based metrics as a proxy of excellence. However, these metrics often fail to recognise both the wide array of contributions made by researchers, and the (potential) impact of the research.

This workshop invites participants to reimagine the methods and processes by which research and researchers are evaluated, putting its focus on the impact of science and technology as a central pillar in the long-term vision for a more prosperous and unified Africa. It showcases the effort in rethinking higher education and research excellence for impact in two examples:

The AAS and its African Union (AU) and European Union (EU) collaborators will share insights of its equitable partnership program, the African Research Initiative for Scientific Excellence (ARISE). ARISE is an innovative research flagship program of AAS-AU- EU inspired by the aspirations of the AU-EU High-Level Policy Dialogue on Science, Technology, and Innovation.

The Global Young Academy (GYA) will shed light into the work behind the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA). CoARA is a global in scope collective of organisations committed to reforming the methods and processes by which research, researchers, and research organisations are evaluated.

Copresidentes

• Dr. Peggy Oti-Boateng, Executive Director, AAS
• Beate Wagner, Managing Director, GYA

Varias uniones y asociaciones de la ISC están teniendo dificultades para retener y reclutar miembros nacionales que paguen cuotas. La caída de la membresía ha estado acompañada por una disminución en la amplitud de la representación geográfica dentro de la membresía de las uniones, especialmente en el Sur Global, incluida Oceanía. Las agencias de financiación esperan que las uniones proporcionen justificaciones más persuasivas y análisis de costo-beneficio para la inversión nacional en cuotas sindicales. Se plantean preguntas sobre el valor comparativo y la eficacia de las uniones científicas disciplinarias tradicionales en comparación con las organizaciones internacionales organizadas en torno a temas (por ejemplo, clima, aumento del nivel del mar, salud, peligros).

Short presentations by the panellists will be followed by 20 minutes open discussion with the participants.
