The fourth conference of the STEM-Africa Initiative of the African Studies Center (ASC) builds upon our alliances and past conferences to bring together faculty, scholars, students, and thought leaders in disciplines of science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine (STEM) from the University of Michigan and partnering universities, governments, and communities of African countries.

An objective of this fourth conference is to explore ways to continue to build sustainable partnerships in STEM education and research that will enable discovery of new knowledge, increase educational capacity and quality, and facilitate knowledge transfer for addressing global, regional and community issues. This fourth STEM conference identifies some priority topics to be addressed in keynote, plenary and working sessions.

Co-organizers: African Center of Excellence in Information and Communication Technologies (CETIC), University of Yaoundé I; Local Materials Promotion Authority (MIPROMALO)
