SUMMARY:5th AfricaLics Research Conference - University of Yaoundé II\, Cameroon
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by University of Yaoundé II and Pan-African University\, Institute for Governance\, Humanities and Social Sciences (PAUGHSS)  \n\nTheme: National Innovation System for Resilience and Sustainable Development in Africa \nThe 5th AfricaLics International Conference is being held at the opportune time as the African economies recover from post COVID-19 impact while still struggling to attain sustainable development. The impact of COVID\, but also the undesirable environmental and social effects\, including climate change and excessive socio-economic inequalities have challenged the traditional narrow focused innovation models of growth. This means that the debates around the role of science\, technology and innovation (STI) in shaping the future of African countries will inevitably shift\, post COVID. Such debates are very crucial for the African region that hosts more than half of the least developed countries in the world; and which will (according to the UN) see its population doubling to 2.4 billion people by 2050.  Further\, the discussion is crucial for better understanding of innovation and the need for development of capabilities\, which can help foster sustainable industrialization and development in a manner that respects the planetary boundaries. This means that Africa cannot escape discussions regarding how to combine the need for economic growth with the need for more environmentally and socially sustainable developments paths. It also raises key questions around: How can the Innovation and Development community help to further develop concepts and strategies that deal with external shocks while keeping the focus on SDGs? \n\nDownload \nCall for Paper: English Version || French Version

SUMMARY:16th Globelics Conference – Accra\, Ghana
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\nThe Global Network for the Economics of Learning\, Innovation\, and Competence Building Systems (GLOBELICS) is an open and diverse community of scholars working on innovation and competence building in the context of economic development. The major purpose of the network is to contribute to building capacity and create a forum for exchange worldwide in the innovation and development research field. It was conceived at the very beginning of the new millennium. Inspired by the work of Christopher Freeman and Richard Nelson\, the network was initially built on conversations among scholars in the South and in the North and developed by economists and experts in innovation systems. \nOver time\, the network has integrated expertise from a wider social science background and experts on broader aspects of development. The network comprises of more than 2000 scholars engaged in research on how innovation and competence building contribute to economic and sustainable development. The network is open and diverse in terms of disciplines\, perspectives and research tools. The Network has various events including PhD academies and Conferences. The Conference\, which is an annual event is a natural incubator for international research projects and a meeting place where project groups with worldwide participation meet\, present and coordinate their research work. The Conference brings together over 300 leading and young scholars from all over the world and aims at building research capacity and orienting research toward the local challenges of the host country. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Globelics International Conference 2018\n\nThe 16th Globelics Conference will be held in Accra\, Ghana\, hosted by the CSIR-Science and Technology Policy Research Institute (STEPRI) at Mensvic Grand Hotel in collaboration with Africalics.\n\n\nGhana is the fourth African country after South Africa\, Senegal and Ethiopia to host the GLOBELICS annual Conference. This presents an opportunity to showcase Ghana\, a politically stable country\, which is currently undergoing a number of transformations to modernise its economy and create jobs. There is a government agenda to create an industry in every district to generate jobs and improve livelihoods especially in the rural areas. The output of the Conference is expected to contribute immensely to the options of the government in achieving this flagship project dubbed “one district one factory”. \nThe conference will combine plenary sessions\, presentations of research papers in parallel tracks\, thematic panel sessions\, special sessions\, poster presentations\, symposia and exhibition on industrial research in Ghana and Africa\, as well as innovative start-ups presentations\, sightseeing and cultural tours. \n\n\n\n\n\nConference Theme\n\n\n\nThe main Conference theme for Globlelics 2018 is Innovation\, Economic Growth and SustainableDevelopment: Strengthening Institutions for Greater Relevance\, Effectiveness and Inclusivity. \nThe conference invites papers addressing the role of different types of actors such as the State\, local or traditional authorities\, global networks\, universities and research institutions\, private sector\, non-governmental organisations / civil society organisations and media in generating innovation\, building capacity and strengthening institutions for sustainable development and inclusive growth. In particular\, it aims to explore new approaches to understand innovations and institutional transformations within countries\, across different economic sectors\, and different operation level (macro\, meso and micro)\, without losing sight of contextual gender disparities. \nThe conference will also consider the need to tackle new challenges related to innovation and capacity building in addition to inclusive development in knowledge and political systems. The conference also welcomes papers studying how development policies can be implemented at different levels and across different countries to innovate out of emerging crisis of climate change\, “resource curse”\, youth unemployment\, poverty\, health and gender inequalities. \n\n\n\n\n\nConference Tracks\n\n\n\nAccepted papers will be organized around parallel paper tracks encompassing the following sub-themes: \n\nScience\, technology\, innovation and the sustainable development goals: Policy and Practice\nAgricultural innovation systems: Addressing the poverty challenge\nUniversity relationships with industry\, policy and society: the developmental university\nIntellectual property rights\, open innovation and development\nNational\, regional and local innovation systems\nRenewable energy: innovating inclusive and resilient infrastructure\nSectoral innovation systems: technology policy and catch-up\nCreative industries\, smart cities and sustainable urban development\nTrade\, FDI\, value chains and innovation networks\nEntrepreneurship\, youth employment and innovation management\nThe role of innovation in overcoming the resource curse: prescriptive models for sustainable growth\nInnovation for Inclusive development: Indigenous knowledge\, informal economy and micro and small enterprises\nThe gender dimension of innovation and development\nImproving the quality of life: Sustainable healthcare\, water and sanitation innovation systems\nEmpirical methodologies\, data requirements\, indicators\, different approaches and methodologies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportant Dates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Event\n Date\n\n\n Call for papers\n February 1\, 2018\n\n\n Deadline for submission of papers\n April 1\, 2018\n\n\n Acceptance notification\n May 14\, 2018\n\n\n Deadline for application for travel support\n April 1\, 2018\n\n\n Response to applicants for travel support\n May 15\, 2018\n\n\n Conference registration\n June 15\, 2018\n\n\n Conference registration deadline\n July 15\, 2018\n\n\n Last date for upload of final version of paper\n September 15\, 2018\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaper Submission\n\n\n\nWe encourage scholars in the scientific institutions\, universities\, private enterprises and public sector institutions to take this opportunity to present their work to leading scholars in the field of innovation and development.

SUMMARY:Research Partnership Building Workshop – Maputo\, Mozambique
DESCRIPTION:The first research partnerships building workshop under the African Network for the Economics of Learning\, Innovation\, and Competence Building Systems (AfricaLics) was held at Hotel Cardoso\, Maputo\, Mozambique from 2-3 December 2013. \nThe purpose of this workshop was to bring together researchers from the innovation and development community and provide a space for creative thinking concerning new research projects or research dissemination projects in this area in Africa. \nThe workshop was a follow up to an initial meeting of academics studying innovation and development held in Dar es Salaam\, Tanzania in December 2012 where there was agreement that research was lacking in a number of subject areas which are essential to the development of African economies and livelihoods. \nThe Maputo workshop was held as a means to start a programme of work that would reduce the research gaps in some\, if not all\, of the above subject areas. The workshop used a series of group work activities to bring out research ideas and potential activities that could be carried out by a group of researchers within and around each thematic research area.
