Science, technology, and innovation (STI) are crucial for poverty alleviation and long-term economic development. Generally, countries can be classified in four STI categories: highly advanced, advanced, middle-advanced and least advanced. This last category comprises most of Africa – South Africa and Egypt are exceptions – and it is this category that is the main focus of TWAS.

The following questions will be considered: What will this decade and the next be like in the developing world and in Africa in particular? How will these countries cope with challenges such as climate change, energy security, food security, diseases, drinking water and population growth?

Please join us! This event is free and open to the public. It will also be streamed live: http://www.hks.harvard.edu/live. This link will be available 20 minutes prior to the start of the event. Follow #cjuma on Twitter for live updates as well.
