<a href="http://africanopenscience.org.za/">African Open Science Platform</a> (AOSP) project – is working towards the advancement of the open science agenda elsewhere on the continent and within regional frameworks, along with many other stakeholders. AOSP
plays a strategic role, through which African-wide development and coordination of data policies, data training and data infrastructure, are leveraged, with the support of the SA Dept. of Science and Technology and the SA National Research Foundation (NRF).
Valuable networks were established this far, and there is great support for future collaboration among those networks.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
