Additionally, NASAC is holding its General Assembly, strengthening institutional cooperation among African scientific academies.
A Committed African Network for Science in Service of Development
Founded in 2001 as an independent African forum, NASAC now comprises 32 science academies. Morocco, which has held the presidency of the network for eight consecutive years, is currently serving as vice president.
Believing that science is a crucial lever for economic, social, and cultural development in Africa, NASAC works to:
Develop scientific recommendations on strategic issues facing the continent,
Facilitate meetings between experts,
Promote the development of scientific and technological cooperation among African countries, in full alignment with His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s vision for an innovative and resilient Africa.
