Conference Sponsorship
Would your organisation like to sponsor the world’s leading conference at the intersection of evidence, public policy, and society? Knowledge-to-policy structures, capacities, and capabilities, are more important than ever. Decision-makers across all sectors are called upon collectively to effect societal transformation and resilience, and to repair planetary systems in fair and efficient ways. Assisting in this effort, INGSA conferences have been at the forefront of the debate, foresight, and direction-setting.
You can be part of this work, while also giving a platform to some of Africa’s fastest rising stars who are leading the way in societal and technological transformations.
The INGSA-Africa Hub, Rwanda

The INGSA-Africa Hub Rwanda will not only work to augment the science advice capacity in Rwanda but will grow into a regional leader for training events and opportunities, to help extend INGSA-Africa’s mission of raising science advice capacity across the continent. Find out more here…
