Abstract:
The goal of this forum is to introduce digital platforms as scientific tools for developing communities. During this forum, Christine Darve will present selected educational programs to learn on Physics in a nutshell and in particular, particle accelerators as tool for discoveries. Stéphane Kenmoe will then share his perspectives on scientific communication addressing early career African scientists. Raissa Malu, will give further concrete examples on how to Investe In People and to connect science and society.
Following those introduction, we will debate on Best Practices to promote digital education and communication in developing communities.
