The aim of the Summer School is: a) to bring together advanced Ph.D. students and teaching staff from AEGIS Centres in order to exchange field and research experience; b) to improve the students’ ability to prepare and present their research in an international context and more specifically to serve as a ‘feeder’ for ECAS 9 in Cologne; c) to promote graduate training within AEGIS and stimulate African-European inter-university cooperation.
The Africa Knows! conference will be the closing activity of the special Africa 2020 year. It wll take place from 2-4 December 2020 at the The Hague University of Applied Sciences/De Haagse Hogeschool. It is an AEGIS Thematic Conference that precedes the ECAS9 Conference in Cologne, 'African Futures', 2-5 June 2021.
The following key issues will be addressed at the conference: There are great changes in the African knowledge landscape: is Africa preparing itself for leapfrogging to innovations? What will the nascent multi-polar world of the 21st century mean for Africa’s role in knowledge and innovation? After 60 years of Independence, how do we finally decolonize the minds and change attitudes towards real co-creation?
