Call for Papers: Science with Africa (The UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and Intelligence in Science (ISC) are inviting submissions of papers for the conference “Science with Africa”. Part of the conference will focus on scientific themes which will be of particular interest in the development of a science base in Africa. The objective is to present the enormous potential of African institutions and to demonstrate that collaboration with African scientists presents added value in many types of research. The conference will revolve around the themes of: Energy, Transport and Infrastructure, Health, Life Sciences, Information and Communication Technologies, Water, and Agriculture and Food Security.Addis Ababa, Ethiopia)

Regional Initiative in Science and Education (RISE) Network Grants (RISE will prepare PhD-level scientists and engineers in sub-Saharan Africa through university-based research and training networks in selected areas. Its primary goals are to prepare new faculty to teach in African universities and allow existing faculty to advance to the PhD level.  Research and training networks comprising universities in at least three different countries in sub-Saharan Africa are eligible to compete. Each RISE network will be expected to grant a minimum of 15 PhD and Masters degrees over 4-6 years. Preference will be given to networks in the following basic sciences: material science mathematics chemistry, including natural products and biochemistry  or in these problem-driven areas: information and communication technology, instrumentation, software engineering renewable energy water resources     Equal consideration will be given to proposals that combine basic and applied areas; for example a network concentrating on safe drinking water might include one node that focuses on chemistry. Creative approaches to interdisciplinary networks are encouraged. Interactions among RISE networks will be encouraged and facilitated as appropriate.sub-Saharan Africa)
