Glad to meet you on the campus of Gaston Berger University in Saint-Louis, Senegal for the first part of our series. Global Africa, from the name of the 1st interdisciplinary and multilingual pan-African scientific journal launched on March 15 in saint louis during a symposium whose title itself is already a whole program:African Research Matters
How to reckon with and on African research? To meet planetary challenges and think about our common future… Huge project in relation to Africa’s share in the world production of knowledge (not exceeding 2%)
Huge project opened by the most eminent researchers in the humanities and social sciences, engaged on all the content and who question themselves without avoiding any subject that annoys on the art and how to finally put back the expertise, the experience and the capacities for resilience and innovation of African research on the international scientific scene.
I suggest you share some of these fertile and inspiring exchanges that enlightened us during 5 intense days in Saint Louis….Caroline Lachowsky
