I want to thank the last speaker for explaining the connection of the ‘Shaping’ report delivered to the NRF and DST in South Africa in 2005. As one of the authors of this report, it is extremely gratifying to know that this report continues to impact the development of physics on the African continent! SO THANK YOU AGAIN! 16:46:28 De Farida Fassi : Thank vert much for your participation. 16:48:28 De nabila aghanim : @Marie-Clementine: mays be it is hence not surprising to have so few graduations. Sorry if I am mistaken. 16:51:19 De Lawrence Norris : There are excellent TAM groups at University of Yaoundé I in Cameroon http://www.lamsebp.org/ 16:53:42 De Sonia Haddad : Does Heat transfer included? 16:54:47 De nabila aghanim : Sorry I need to leave!

See you tomorrow 17:54:57 De Jean Baptiste Fankam Fankam : Thanks to all the presenters 17:59:32 De Paul Gueye (He/Him/His) : Hi all: I need to head to another meeting. See you tomorrow 18:06:16 De Sonia Haddad : May be we need a working group to connect Africa with International Projects as Europe Horizon, Funding foundations... 18:08:26 De Malik Maaza : Is there a chapter within the strategy to address the funding aspect. 18:09:17 De Fairouz Malek : @Sonia @Malik there is not such a working group because it is a strategy project 18:09:35 De Farida Fassi : We have already started to discussed this. it is not a WG. 18:09:46 De Fairouz Malek : Funding agencies and stakeholder are, in principle known 18:10:11 De Fairouz Malek : The strategy is based upon science 18:10:57 De Azwinndini Muronga : Bye all. I have to join another meeting. 18:11:47 De Farida Fassi : Thanks a lots. 18:11:57 De Fairouz Malek : EU funding agencies are processing in that way too. They endorse a strategy report, they they prioritize and fund what they can 18:14:02 De Malik Maaza : It is wise to consider EU-Africa partnership as early as possible. 18:15:06 De Fairouz Malek : @Malik, we can talk about it but why should Europe give budgets to the African for projects in Africa ? 18:15:25 De Fairouz Malek : Apart from projects in collaboration, of course 18:15:48 De Fairouz Malek : Africa should have its own science budget like all the other continents. 18:16:32 De Simon Connell : External monies can be interim. But ultimately, Africa must take responsibility for Africa. Otherwise, we remain colonised. 18:16:44 De Malik Maaza : There is an AU-EU shared vision & long term partnership. It is part of sits 2063. 18:17:11 De Malik Maaza : I mean STISA2063 18:17:30 De Fairouz Malek : @Simon, yes, I agree with you 18:19:06 De Fairouz Malek : An EU officer is member of our advisory board. I saw the program EU-Africa ……. just same as usual 18:19:18 De Malik Maaza : The strategy must be linked to STISA 2063 to ensure a back up from the AU. 18:19:38 De Fairouz Malek : @Malik yes 18:19:43 De Zeblon Z. Vilakazi : Could not agree more Malik 18:20:29 De Fairouz Malek : We need to enforce our collaboration with AU 18:21:06 De Ulrich Goerlach : Good bye everybody and see you tomorrow ! 18:22:13 De Malik Maaza : The future AU HSRTC who would start this following October should be briefed as early as possible. 18:22:33 De Simon Connell : yes Malik ! 18:22:38 De Fairouz Malek : @Malik yes Malik 18:22:40 De Zeblon Z.
