The Africa Science Leadership Programme (ASLP) is a new initiative of Future Africa as part of the University of Pretoria and the Global Young Academy, with the support of the Robert Bosch Stiftung. The programme grows mid-career African academics in the areas of thought leadership, team management and research development and enables them to contribute to the development of a new paradigm for science in African, focused on its contribution to solving the complex issues facing both Africa and the global community.

The leadership programme:

• Identifies early- to mid-career academics who have demonstrated leadership potential and an interest in developing key leadership skills
• Supports them to apply the acquired skills to projects that are relevant to the academic development on the continent and its impact on society
• Creates a network of academic leaders on the continent, spanning not only across countries, but also across disciplinary boundaries
• Advances a curriculum for academic leadership development which can be utilised in other institutions in Africa and beyond.
