African Technology Policy Studies Network







RESPONSIBLE STI POLICY ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF THE AFRICAN TECHNOLOGY POLICY STUDIES

(ATPS) NETWORK

The ATPS Responsible STI Committee advices the Secretariat Management Committee (SMC) to develop the content of the ATPS STI capacity building activities and provides quality assurance for all ATPS program activities, publications and other knowledge valorization via the electronic media. Specific tasks of the ATPS STI Advisory Committee include:
  • To input into discussions on the future direction of the ATPS through periodic e-mail discussions with the ATPS Board and the rest of the committee membership.
  • To help to develop the content of the ATPS STI capacity building activities by helping the ATPS to connect with key STI knowledge communities and by encouraging leading STI policy actors (researchers, policy makers, and practitioners) to participate in the activities of the ATPS, and
  • To guarantee the quality of the ATPS program implementation, publications and other knowledge valorization activities by occasionally acting as a referee and/or by suggesting suitable referees for country activity proposals and ATPS publications.
Whilst the ATPS hopes that the STI Advisory Committee would actively support the ATPS' STI capacity building effort, we are very conscious of the numerous demands on the committee members' time and cost effectiveness of maintaining their advisory roles for the ATPS. The Committee is therefore expected to discharge its duties to the ATPS via e-mail discussions, occasional teleconferencing, video conferencing and request for nominations of referees of ATPS submissions when needed. Where possible, members of the Advisory committee would themselves be requested to referee ATPS proposals, publications and policy intervention plans which fall in their core areas of expertise. ATPS expects to receive special guidance from Committee members on emerging STI policy issues that the ATPS should pursue.
 
All committee members will be invited to participate in the ATPS annual conferences and annual general meetings which normally take place in November/December each year. They will also receive free copies of all ATPS publications, and receive regular updates on all ATPS activities.
