The United
Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and ISC-Intelligence in Science are organizing a
conference titled "Science with Africa" that will take place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 3 to 7 March. The timeliness of the ''''Science with Africa'''' initiative is evidenced by the EU-Africa Summit''''s adoption of a renewed strategic partnership, including a chapter on Science, Information Society and Space. The chapter emphasizes the priority to strengthen cooperation on science and technology programs and to promote the application of S&T to achieve specific Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as well as promote the
participation of the African
research community into European programs. The conference will examine methodologies for improving science program participation by
scientists and researchers in African nations. The three day event will be divided into three pillars: science and
innovation policy, science themes and innovation and will consist of plenary sessions and workshops. Speakers will include senior
policy makers from Africa and around the world, eminent scientists, research project managers, experts in proposal preparation and IP and patent specialists
