SUMMARY:Imperial Lates: Science Across Africa
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a night of bold ideas\, big questions\, and unexpected discoveries at this free Imperial Lates. \nExplore how researchers\, communities and innovators at Imperial College London and across the African continent are working together to tackle shared challenges and change the future of science. \nWhat can we learn from malaria outbreaks in East Africa? Step into a live theatre experience where you’ll debate whether genetically modified mosquitoes should be used to eradicate malaria. Get creative with a Kente cloth workshop\, then talk to Imperial teams doing research in\, from and with Africa and Africans\, as you find out how these collaborations are leading to new ways of sharing knowledge across borders. \nDiscover how solar-powered mini-grids are transforming lives in rural communities in Rwanda and Ghana\, and uncover what Kenya’s informal car repair garages can teach us about innovation\, entrepreneurship and urban life. Tune into a talk about Afrofuturism and science fiction before you head to talks from next generation of Black scientists and engineers about the future of research. \nWhat would it mean to decolonise science? Who sets research priorities\, whose knowledge counts\, and who benefits? Hear from the people working across the continent and explore how working alongside local communities is challenging conventional approaches to research. These projects go beyond shaping the future of science in Africa: they’re changing how research happens at Imperial\, and are opening up new possibilities for researchers around the world to work together. \nWith thought-provoking talks\, hands-on activities\, and interactive exhibits\, this free Lates is your chance to experience cutting-edge ideas\, meet fascinating people and see how African research is shaping science far beyond just one continent. Throw in a DJ\, tasty jollof rice from Maame T’s Kitchen for sale\, plus a bar\, and you’ve got yourself a fantastic evening of free science.
