The Next Einstein Forum (NEF) has celebrated this year’s African Science Week 2022 by organising a forum involving some trail-blazing scientists at the Academic City University College Accra on Wednesday.

The African Science week celebrates the contribution of Africa and African researchers to the construction of the world’s science heritage.

The event is part of a series of events being organised across five African sub-regions for the first time this year with Ghana and Niger chosen as hosts for West Africa.

In an address, NEF Ambassador Justina A. Onumah welcomed the participants and expressed delight at having the relevant stakeholders present for the occasion.

She also highlighted the importance of leveraging science and technology for human development and the belief that the Next Einstein can be an African.

The theme for the celebration was “Using the transforming power of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics to propel the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals”.
