The African Academy of Sciences Research Management Programme in Africa

Abstract

The Research Management Programme in Africa (ReMPro Africa) is an initiative of The African Academy of Sciences (The AAS) which aims to fill critical gaps in the African research ecosystem to support a vibrant research culture and leadership at universities and research institutions. The AAS recognizes that the business of doing research is all-encompassing and the lack of specialist research management profesionals threatens the integrity and quality of research coming out of African institutions. ReMPro Africa aims to transform research management at the institutional level by addressing the key interconnected strands of leadership, sustainability, standards and individual capacity development.
