Policy Engagement

STI & Higher Education Excellence for Sustainable Economic Development

In order to strengthen knowledge economies through higher education excellence for sustainable development, we collaborate with strategic partners to implement strategic policies that will increase research output, visibility, economic growth and sustainable development.

We are working with PLOS and the Association of African Universities in increasing awareness on Open Science among higher education institution leaders with the primary objective of increasing Open Science mandates within African universities. In addition, we are collaborating with the East African Science and Technology Commission to promote the benefits of Open Science for East African researchers, with the goal of adoption by partner states.
