GYA Co-Chair Connie Nshmereirwe will represent the GYA in a session on ‘Harnessing STEM to Address Africa’s Challenges: An Academies’ Perspective’. Furthermore, GYA Advisory Board Member Luis Davidovic is on a Panel on: ‘The Role of Academies of Science in Strengthening Science Advice: A BRICS Perspective.’
The theme of the conference is ‘Igniting Conversations about Science’, SFSA2018 positions itself between an academic / research conference (where research papers are presented) and a science engagement meeting (where science is made popular, often with a focus on the youth).
SFSA2018 is, therefore, a celebration of science, technology, and innovation where we ignite conversations about science on the middle ground between academics, policy, and popular science engagement.
