The growth of surveys with questions on data sharing practices has made a significant contribution to characterizing knowledge ecology for open data over the last five years. Yet, our analysis of survey instruments concludes that aggregation and comparative analysis is difficult or impossible, and geographic coverage is uneven. There is a high diversity in: focus (motivations, practices,...

Geographically distributed science relies on Research and Education Networks (RENs) for data movement. End-to-end network paths for data movement in the transatlantic region rely on the collaboration of multiple REN operators (including TENET/SANReN, RNP, RedCLARA, GEANT and AmLight ExP).
Several RENs participate in the AmLight consortium to support the Americas-Africa Lightpaths Express...

As the [WACREN][1] network is being deployed we want to make sure it performs at the speed and capacity it was planned for, to make sure that the links provided are reliable to serve our users with the service quality they need. To verify that, a [perfSONAR][2] deployment was designed to go hand in hand with the network: each major network PoP is hosting a primary measurement point (MP),...

Whereas these changes have phenomenally rendered the old concept of the library as a “warehouse of knowledge”... -

In his seminal work on Open science as a collective tool of empowerment and cognitive justice, Piron et al. (2018) has shown that Open Access offers African scholarship unprecedented opportunities to reach previously inaccessible audiences—nationally, regionally, and internationally.

Mr Mohamed Ali Ahmed (Somali Research and Education Network (SomaliREN) - Somalia)
As many other countries in Africa, Somalia suffers from a gap with respect to other countries in the world for what concerns openness of research [1] and visibility of research outputs [2]. Research outputs produced by local universities and research institutions are not adequately showcased to interested communities and citizens outside academic institutions and this has negatively branded...

Despite the vast career opportunities, women and girls continue to be underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) that are significant to the economic, and social development. UNESCO estimates[1] suggest that less than a third of all students enrolled in STEM-related fields are female and this effectively excludes their contribution of intellectual...
