Advancing Research and Innovation Strategies in Ethiopian STI Policies
This mutual learning exercise focuses on transforming the research and innovation ecosystem in Ethiopia, discussing STI policies, technology transfer, human resource development, job creation, and wealth generation. Key institutions like the Armauer Hansen Research Institute and Ethiopian Public Health Institute play crucial roles in biomedical research and capacity building. The establishment of Industrial Research Institutes aims to bolster industrial development and technology transfer. The event aims to shift Ethiopia from a facilitator to a main actor in research and innovation by 2024.
