Description

Globally there is movement in developing a Global Open Science Cloud (GOSC) aimed at supporting research collaborations across continents to assist in addressing global challenges through science and joint action.
To this end, continents, regions, and countries are also actively developing Open Science platforms and investing in underlying cyberinfrastructures to advance their research science technology and innovation (RSTI) ecosystems, enhance collaboration and increase their competitiveness and critically, use RSTI as a driver for national and continental priorities.
This talk highlights the movement toward developing a Pan African cyberinfrastructure to support advancement of the continent's science enterprise through open science.
