Profile
Who we are.
Specialists in the disciplines of digital sciences develop complementary skills to address the challenges posed by high-performance computing, modeling of complex systems, machine learning in artificial intelligence, computer security through cryptography or program certification, as examples. Together, they are building a community whose objective is to promote and sustain the fruitful cooperation between scientists in the field of digital sciences that are strongly transforming societies, economies and governments today.
It is this scientific community that the African Society in Digital Sciences (ASDS) wants to represent and support in Africa.
ASDS is an autonomous, non-political and non-profit scientific organization, independent of state institutions and established by scientists from all-over the world, who develop excellence on subjects relevant to Africa and adhere to a number of values : access to digital resources for all, open science, open data, frugal digital sciences, digital ethics, scientific integrity, scientific excellence, equal opportunities for all, including women and minorities, balanced and fruitful South-North and South-South partnerships.
What are we offering.
The planned activities first build on already existing ones, promoting and extending them to more African both English and French-speaking countries. Let us mention some conferences (CARI, AFRICOMM, ACSE, CRI, CNRIA, …), thematic schools, an online journal (ARIMA), and an online seminar in Digital Sciences. New anticipated activities are, for instance, the provision of online resources, a training offer, and the dissemination and valorization of research results to the general public, companies, administrations, and international organizations.
