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.
