    3. Outline of presentation Profile of respondents Networks and interactions Expectations of Africalics

    5. Which institutions have you interacted with on your research in the past five years? Universities – 48.3% (57 out of 118)

    16. Further analysis Participants provided names of up to 10 people with whom they have most regular formal or informal contact about your research over the last 5 years 212 names of the “extended” network of Africalics Participants indicated up to 5 STI related events in which they have participated in over the last 5 years that they consider most important for their research

    19. Considerations for network – collaborations and interactions Improving coverage of the mapping exercise Adding Globelics Academy students Scanning relevant STI journals Identify African expertise living abroad (students or employees of universities/other similar organizations) Strengthening ties Exploiting the “strength of weak ties” Understanding existing research practices across the continent and with external networks

    20. Number of papers per country (2005-2010)

    21. Scale-adjusted collaboration affinity between countries (2000-09)

    22. Positional analysis of Egypt’s scientific fields (2005-2007)

    23. Outline of presentation Profile of respondents Networks and interactions Expectations of Africalics

    24. Suggested themes for Africalics

    25. Keywords of thematic areas of work

    27. Active participation in Africalics 35% of respondents have some role of leadership in their organisations 89% of respondents would like to actively participate in Africalics activities 69% organising conferences, workshops and seminars

    28. Willingness to support Africalics

    29. Suggested sources of funding

    31. Considerations for expectations for Africalics Themes Expected themes correlate relatively well with areas in which people are already working : e.g. sectors, issues around competitiveness and economic growth based on firms, context-specific issues relevant for Africa Capability development – although there is a lot of activity in this area but was not suggested as a relevant theme for Africalics Activities Building STI research and policymaking capacity across the continent through a “non-conventional” model Funding Most respondents suggest bilateral funders and African governments as main funding sources for Africalics Engaging the private sector in supporting Africalics
