Organised to mark the publication of the inaugural issue of the Global Africa journal, the African Research Matters international conference aims to spark discussion and debate on epistemological issues, conditions of existence, political economy, social legitimacy and the capacity of pan-African research to influence the world in the face of global challenges. Plenary sessions and panels with top-level experts will focus on the place of multidisciplinary humanities and social sciences in facilitating critical reflection on the continent and its social, political, cultural, economic, environmental and scientific trajectories.
The conference is jointly organised by Gaston Berger University (UGB) and the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) in partnership with the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) as part of the Global Africa Project (UGB, IRD, LASDEL, UIR). The conference will feature a scientific book fair with book and journal publishers.
