Regional Scientific Awards for Women in the five Regions of Africa
The Commission of the African Union is committed to support the use and development of science in Africa and has initiated with its key development partners the African Union Scientific Award Programme. In July 2010, the African Union Heads of State and Government took a decision to rename this Programme as “African Union Kwame Nkrumah Scientific Awards”. This decision reflects and underscores a success story and the critical role of science and technology in the development and integration of Africa. Under this programme the Regional Economic Communities in partnership with the AU Commission (see Rules of Procedure) implement the Regional Scientific Awards for Women in the five Regions of Africa. The objective of this programme is to award Cash Prizes and Recognition Certificates to excelling African women researchers for their achievements in Earth and Life Sciences, and Basic, Science, Technology and Innovation sectors.
Applications are invited for African Union Kwame Nkrumah Scientific Awards available to top African scientists for their scientific achievements and valuable discoveries and findings. These awards are available in each of the following two sectors (a) Life and Earth Science; and (b) Basic Science, Technology and Innovation at the national, regional and continental levels. The programme is implemented at national level for young researchers, regional level for women scientists and continental level open to all scientists. The Continental level is the highest level of the programme.
Prizes are awarded in each of the following two sectors (a) Life and Earth Science; and (b) Basic Science, Technology and Innovation. Prizes are available to scientists for their scientific achievements and valuable discoveries and findings.
