CS-DC Africa Committee

=Main tasks = Main tasks of the new "Regional" CS-DC Committees in 2016 are to:


 * Increase the shared research and educational resources by increasing the institutional and individual members and their interactions through e-events involving scientific communities
 * Involve itself in the commitments of the Cooperation Programme with UNESCO by progressively elaborate its own 2016 roadmap. This 2016 roadmap can evolve according to the following recommendation:
 * The 2016 roadmap will continuously evolve by inviting any scientist from any country to modify or add below a challenging task within its e-Team. In this case please write to the chair of this Committee: Karim Bouchlaghem (see contact below). New challenging tasks can be inspired by the main commitments of the Cooperation Programme established between CS-DC and UNESCO. These commitments are described in the following committees :
 * CS-DC Social Intelligent ICT Ecosystem Committee : Cyrille Bertelle
 * CS-DC Strategy Ecosystem Committee: Mina Teicher
 * CS-DC Educational Ecosystem Committee: Jorge Louçã
 * CS-DC Computational Ecosystem Committee: Carlos Jaime Barrios Hernandez
 * CS-DC Organisational Ecosystem Committee: Jeffrey Johnson
 * CS-DC Socio-Environmental Ecosystem Committee: Celine Rozenblat
 * CS-DC Africa Committee: Karim Bouchlaghem
 * CS-DC Latin America Committee: Maria Eunice Gonzales
 * CS-DC Asia Committee: Zhangang Han

e-Team for organizing e-events in Africa
The Committee provides a diversity of opportunities to involve relevant scientific communities and scientists in (e-)events, with no cost, such as:
 * e-Seminars
 * e-Conferences
 * e-Schools

Each e-event can be recorded, thus contributing to the research & educational CS-DC resources, long-term traces, and transdiciplinary interactions between members. Organizing an e-event is easy - any researcher can:
 * propose a talk;
 * ask questions;
 * create local mini-events for interacting with the others;
 * look at the replay on video;
 * re-use the replay for courses.

e-Team for enlarging the CS-DC in Africa
Enlarging the CS-DC is easy - a CS-DC Institution is an institution whose head has signed the “sharing” commitment letter with the CS-DC. According to the UNESCO UniTwin rules, the CS-DC network can be integrated by:
 * institutions of higher education and research, nationally recognized;
 * NGOs working in higher education and research or another academic association (e.g. learning societies, scientific academies, etc);
 * inter-university networks, or another academic networks;
 * any institution aiming to cooperate with UNESCO in the field of higher education.
