“Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.”-Kofi Annan

 

Africa's development is an exciting challenge where African Universities play a vital role. Much like in Western countries, African universities have the great opportunity to shape the minds of those who will bring innovation and development to the continent. Afric@Tech is excited to be a forum where this topic can be discussed and where Africans can be inspired to make positive change. Afric@Tech is also excited to use this forum as an means to facilitate collaboration and exchange of knowledge between Georgia Tech and African Universities.

 

Join us in a conversation with our panelists focusing on the role of the University in their countries' plans and the role of academic collaboration with peer Western universities such as Georgia Tech.
