Transformed lives through science
The AAS seeks to diversify and extend partnership and collaborative arrangements with governments, philanthropy, private sector, non-governmental organisations, development funding institutions, multilateral agencies and others at the global, continental, regional, national and sub-national levels in Africa. We invite any of thesekey players interested in partnering on the future campus to connect with us to discuss this partnership further.
The African Academy of Sciences (AAS) is a non-aligned, non-political, not-for-profit Pan-African organisation headquartered in Nairobi, with a hosting agreement with the government of Kenya. The AAS’s vision is to see transformed lives on the African continent through science. It is the only continental Academy in Africa enjoying the support and recognition of the African Union, as well as several governments and major international partners. It has a tripartite mandate: to recognize excellence through its highly prestigious fellowship and award schemes; to provide advisory and think tank functions for shaping the continent’s Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) strategies and policies; and to implement key STI programmes aimed at addressing Africa’s developmental challenges.
