Please join us! The African Studies Center would like to invite you to the upcoming conference SCIENCE ENVIRONMENTS IN AFRICA scheduled from May 6-8, 2010. The conference brings together participants from a wide array of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math disciplines to share ideas and map out possible strategies for topics including engineering, natural resource management, climate change, environmental justice, research on chronic disease, information technology, mathematical sciences, and funding environments for scientific research in Africa. We recognize that there is much more activity at University of Michigan on science related topics in Africa then could be captured in one conference and we hope this gathering will serve as a starting point for future collaboration and discussion. Below are details on the two key note speakers for the conference. The complete program can found on the African Studies Center website under the event listing http://www.lsa.umich.edu/asc
