[IRTalk] [African Open Science Platform] African Scientists Directory: Invitation to Register

[African Science]

Dear Scientists

See https://africanscientists.africa/ 

With funding from the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) of South 
Africa, the International Science Council (ISC) Regional Office for Africa 
(ROA), in collaboration with the Academy of Science of South Africa 
(ASSAf), the African Academy of Science (AAS), the Network of African 
Science Academies (NASAC) and the World Academy of Sciences Sub-Saharan 
Africa Regional Partner (TWASSAREP) have developed an African Scientists 
Directory. This directory is generally envisaged to serve as a dynamic 
platform that contains information on African experts in the natural and 
social sciences, humanities, engineering and mathematics, residing within 
and outside the continent, which would make it easy to identify, engage and 
co-design as well as carry out research across disciplines, countries and 
regions of the continent and beyond. Specifically, the directory will: (i) 
facilitate the free flow of scientists and scientific knowledge across 
borders; and promote the participation of African scientists in activities 
of the ISC family; (ii) ensure efficient information transfer from the ISC 
and its family members to the scientific community in Africa and the 
collection, collation and dissemination of valuable scientific information 
for Africa; and (iii) promote and
facilitate the formation of scientific societies and academies within the 
continent as well as sub-regional partnerships on the continent. The 
directory will also promote and
facilitate capacity building in Africa, including support for post-graduate 
training programmes for early career scientists. It is basically an online 
database, hosted on the ASSAf server and self-operable using the link: 
http://africanscientists.africa/. Access is open to scientists from all 
categories with a doctorate or equivalent qualification.

You are cordially invited to help us to create a vibrant and well-connected 
African science community through registering your details in this 
directory to among others collaborate, build trust, increase impact and 
connect. Please help further by sharing this information with your 
colleagues, partners and networks.

Sincerely yours,

Dr Daniel Nyanganyura
Regional Director, ISC Regional Office for Africa.
