SRDA
Brief history of SCIENTIFIC REVIVAL DAY OF AFRICA (SRDA).
In support of enhancing Science, Technology and Innovation, the African Union (AU) formally the Organization of African Unity, (OAU) on 30th June 1987 during the 46th Ministerial Conference in Addis Ababa declared 30th June as a special day to commemorate Science and Technology in Africa. It is a day that should be dedicated to issues of Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) for African countries to think about the role of this important subject in development for Africa and to re-examine the role that Science and Technology plays in African lives. KNAS decided to link some of its activities with this effort and consequently started celebrating the Scientific Revival Day of Africa annually since 2004.
