非洲基础和应用物理学战略介绍(ASFAP)
Introduction to the African Strategy for Fundamental and Applied Physics (ASFAP)
摘要:
创造科学和技术知识并将其转化为对社会具有附加值的创新,是社会、经济增长和发展的关键手段。与世界其他地区的这些能力一样出色,非洲的科学、创新、教育和研究基础设施,特别是基础物理和应用物理方面的基础设施,多年来一直受到低估,资源不足。为了有效地解决与世界其他地区的科学和技术差距,非洲的立场需要彻底改革。怀着在非洲推动全社会努力的雄心壮志,非洲基础和应用物理战略(ASFAP)成立了。目的是展示物理学对非洲社会的潜在好处,以及物理学如何有助于技术基础设施的发展,并提供利用科学进步所需的训练有素的人员。这一愿景包括通过物理技术及其对经济增长的影响,包括在很大程度上借鉴物理学进步的其他科学,促进科学素养。除了在国家、区域和泛非组织中发展和加强非洲人之间的合作和伙伴关系之外。这应有助于应对非洲人面临的挑战,并优先考虑教育和研究资源、创新和发展。如果非洲需要在全球科学进程中拥有并保持其共同领导者的地位,并获得随之而来的社会经济效益,ASFAP倡议可以为克服非洲社会和经济挑战的复杂性提供一个独特的机会。ASFAP将需要几年的时间,最终报告将通知非洲决策者和更广泛的社区。
英文摘要:
Generating scientific and technological knowledge and converting them into innovations which are of added value to society are key instruments for a society economic growth and development. As outstanding as these capabilities are for other regions in the world, Africa science, innovation, education and research infrastructure, particularly in fundamental and applied physics, have over the years been under valued and under resourced. To efficiently address the scientific and technological gaps with the rest of the world, Africa stance needs radical overhaul. With the big ambition to drive a community wide effort in Africa, the African Strategy for Fundamental and Applied Physics (ASFAP) was founded. The aspiration is to demonstrate the physics potential benefits for African society and how physics can contribute to the technological infrastructure development and to provide trained personnel needed to take advantage of scientific advances. The vision consists in fostering scientific literacy driven by physics based technologies and their impact for economic growth, including other sciences that draw heavily on advances in physics. In addition to developing and enhancing collaborations and partnerships among Africans in national, regional, and Pan African organizations. This should assist to tackle the challenges that Africans struggle and prioritize educational and research resources, innovation and development. The ASFAP initiative could present a unique opportunity of overcoming the complexity of the African social and economic challenges, if Africa needs to have and maintain its position as a coleader in the global scientific process and reap the consequent socioeconomic benefits. ASFAP will take a few years with a final report to notify the African policymakers and broader communities.
