Science, Technology and Development
Author: Mozammel Huq
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113519257X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
First Published in 1991. This volume, containing the proceedings of a Conference organised by the Science, Technology and Development (STD) Forum in association with the Developing Countries Research Unit (DCRU), University of Strathclyde, on 9-10 April 1990, is a modest attempt at advancing awareness concerning Third World development mainly in two inter-related areas: (a) the problems faced in the advancement of science and technology in the Third World and (b) the use of scientific and technological knowledge for promoting sustainable development of these countries. Given the multi-disciplinary character of the Conference and, in particular, the variety of approaches adopted by the contributors, any attempt to synthesise the papers in a brief introduction is likely to be futile. The best that can be done is to introduce some of the papers in a brief review. But before that a few words on the objectives of the Conference, and in particular on the need for North-South Cooperation in science, technology and development, may be helpful.

Book Description
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This edited volume is concerned with the evolution and achievements of cooperation in research and innovation between Africa and Europe, and points to the need for more diversified funding and finance mechanisms, and for novel models of collaboration to attract new actors and innovative ideas. It reflects on the political, economic, diplomatic and scientific rationale for cooperation, while also examining practical developments, illustrated with examples, in the fields of food security, health, and climate change. The need to mobilise scientific knowledge and to ensure equality and fairness in the cooperation are recurrent themes. Africa-Europe Cooperation in Research and Innovation is essential reading for policy makers and researchers in international relations and science diplomacy.

Pages : 2
Book Description
There is an emerging global consensus that capacity in S & T is essential to economic competitiveness, sustainable development and poverty reduction. Therefore a growing number of governments in Africa are prioritising S & T as a key sector of their national and regional development programmes and put an emphasis on science and technology in Europe-Africa cooperation programmes. CAAST-Net interventions goal is to promote and facilitate the EU-Africa S & T cooperation, focusing on greater use of the EU's Framework Programme and recognising the potential of the European and African national programmes offering support to international cooperation in S & T. CAAST-Net facilitates EU-Africa stakeholders' dialogue on S & T and supports research partnerships through identifying and prioritising researchable topics of mutual interest and through networking and linking outputs to users. CAAST-Net harnesses cooperation to address specific local and regional problems in Africa and common problems of a global nature. Additionally CAAST-Net's actions to foster EU-Africa cooperation and dialogue offer a strategic dimension to regions' capacity for implementation of priority continental S & T programmes. It monitors the trends of EU-Africa cooperation under the Framework Programme and seeks to strengthen the participation of African countries through raising awareness, brokering partnerships and offering training.

Knowledge Production and Contradictory Functions in African Higher Education
Author: Nico Cloete
Publisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 1920677879
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
The dominant global discourse in higher education now focuses on world-class universities inevitably located predominantly in North America, Europe and, increasingly, East Asia. The rest of the world, including Africa, is left to play catch-up. But that discourse should focus rather on the tensions, even contradictions, between excellence and engagement with which all universities must grapple. Here the African experience has much to offer the high-participation and generously resourced systems of the so-called developed world. This book offers a critical review of that experience, and so makes a major contribution to our understanding of higher education.

Sustainability Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa I
Author: Alexandros Gasparatos
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811544581
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
The aim of this 2-volume book is to highlight how Sustainability Science approaches can help solve some of the pervasive challenges that Africa faces. The volumes collect a number of local case studies throughout Africa that adopt transdisciplinary and problem-oriented research approaches using methodologies from the natural and the social sciences. These are put into perspective with chapters that introduce key sustainability challenges such using a regional focus. Through this multi-scale and inter/transdisciplinary approach the proposed volume will provide an authoritative source that will pack in a single volume a large amount of information on how Sustainability Science approaches sustainability challenges in African contexts. While there have been general books about sustainability science, none has had a strong African focus. As a result the 2-volume set fills a major gap in the Sustainability Science scholarship. This volume sets the stage for the series. Part I introduces key sustainability challenges in Africa. Parts II‐III highlights specific case studies related to these challenges from West and Central Africa.
