The long journey home

Article Abstract:

African scientists had to work in under-resourced laboratories with old equipment in the past few years and students were trained in old laboratories resulting in brain drain. However, African governments are taking action and while some countries have full-fledged science ministries, 40 countries have organized themselves to form African Ministerial Council on Science and Technology (AMCOST), and have pledged their support to boost science and technology across the continent.

The concept of focusing Africa's science on African problems prevails across the continent

Article Abstract:

African Union and the New Economic Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) are spearheading the importance of scientific research in Africa, establishing regional networks in the North, East, West and South of the continent. Four existing centers are chosen to act as regional hubs which will make scarce equipment and intellectual resources more widely available throughout each region so as to spread capacity and transfer knowledge.

Science goes to China

Article Abstract:

Scientists and researchers are moving to China, as it is providing them very good packages to establish their own lab in brand-new facilities. Planning, finding a Chinese scientist, learning Chinese and funds are some of the major requirements for those scientists who are planning to shift to China.
