Dear Reader, Scientists seldom try to read regulations, let alone understand or interpret them. Most pharmacy students would have studied a subject called Forensic Pharmacy and read the almost bible like book by late Prof. B M Mittal with the same title. Late Mr. KattiShettar, the then Drugs Controller of Karnataka taught me this subject. He used to bring printed cartons, labels, literature while teaching Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules in 1970-71. He used to tell me “what kind of research scientist would you become if you don’t know regulations?”

More political scientists should engage in the debates surrounding regulation of communications networks, the infrastructure on which telecom, media, and Internet services ride. In 1990 there were 14 communications regulators worldwide, by 2007 there were 148. To fulfill World Trade Organization Agreement on Basic Telecommunications commitments, many countries aim to create regulatory agencies that are “independent.” What characterizes independence? Regulators are embedded in a political context that includes three main constituencies : other government institutions, industry, and consumers. Independent regulators are able to take action autonomously from other government institutions and industry while serving as advocates for consumers. In a survey of 18 countries, several traits emerge; a leader who cannot be dismissed arbitrarily, regulatory authority clearly distinct from policymaking, independent funding, minimal staff exchange between regulator and regulated firm, and dedicated support for consumers. It is usually easier for a regulator to be independent if operators are privatized. In a study of 4 countries, independent regulators follow decision-making procedures that give the public notice about proposed rule changes, opportunities to provide comments, and final decisions with explanation. Also, independent regulators have gift, conflict of interest, and post-employment rules, which set ethical standards and expectations for staff.

Abstract Rees, H. L., Hyland, J. L., Hylland, K., Mercer Clarke, C. S. L., Roff, J. C., and Ware, S. 2008. Environmental indicators: utility in meeting regulatory needs. An overview. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 1381–1386. The utility of environmental indicators in meeting regulatory needs was addressed at an international symposium held in November 2007. This paper summarizes the attributes and range of uses of indicators and highlights key points from theme sessions and a workshop on unifying concepts. The symposium attracted regulators and scientists, who supported the need to promote dialogue during the construction of indicator-based management frameworks and at key stages towards operational use. Scientists expressed willingness to engage with the wider societal context for indicator applications, which is essential to the development of ecosystem-based management. For the latter to be effective, more effort is needed to combine indicators with thresholds to guide management actions and, in the process, to assess the full range of consequences of non-compliance. There are clear benefits to periodic interdisciplinary reviews of progress in this area, and a follow-up event with a regulatory emphasis is suggested.

AbstractSix drug regulatory reviewers and 11 pharmaceutical industry scientists were interviewed to explore their perspectives on the obstacles and opportunities for greater implementation of the Three Rs (replacement, reduction, refinement) in drug research and development. Participants generally supported the current level of animal use in the pharmaceutical industry and viewed in vitro methods as supporting, but not replacing, the use of animals. Obstacles to greater use of the Three Rs cited by participants included the lack of non-animal alternatives; requirements for statistical validity; reluctance by industry and regulators to depart from established patterns of animal use; the priority of commercial objectives ahead of the Three Rs; and concern that less animal testing could jeopardise human safety. Opportunities identified for the Three Rs included the development of better animal models including genetically modified (GM) animals; pursuit of more basic knowledge, notably drug action on gene expression; re-use of animals; greater use of pilot studies; using sufficient numbers of animals per test to avoid repeating inconclusive studies; regular review of animal data in regulatory requirements; and following the regulatory option of combining segments of reproductive toxicology studies into one study. In some areas, greater implementation of the Three Rs seemed well aligned with industry priorities, for example, phenotypic characterisation of GM animals and validation of alternative methods. In other areas, wider use of the Three Rs may require building consensus on areas of disagreement including the usefulness of death as an endpoint; the suitability of re-using animals; and whether GM animals and the use of pilot studies contribute to reduction.

Background: Competency-based regulatory sciences education could expand the workforce of regulatory scientists in sub-Saharan Africa. A competency framework is foundational to developing competency-based education. Objective: To identify the entry-level competency requirements of regulatory scientists in sub-Saharan Africa. Method: This research was a systematic review of the literature based on a pre-registered protocol. The research used the "framework synthesis" systematic review model to deductively identify competencies and code them into clusters with NVivo 12 software. Result: Three broad clusters of competencies were identified – enabling behaviours, knowledge, and skills. The knowledge and skills clusters were further subdivided into sub-clusters: the knowledge cluster into administrative, regulatory governance/framework, and scientific knowledge, and the skills cluster into functional and technical skills. Conclusion: The identified competencies will assist in developing an entry-level competency framework required for competency-based regulatory sciences education in sub-Saharan Africa.

In the 20th century, public health was responsible for most of the 30-year increase in average life expectancy in the United States.1 Most of the significant advances in public health (e.g., vaccinations, water fluoridation) required the combined effort of scientists and attorneys. Scientists identified public health threats and the means of controlling them, but attorneys and policymakers helped convert those scientific discoveries into laws that could change the behavior of industries or individuals at a population level. In tobacco control, public health scientists made the groundbreaking discovery that smoking caused lung cancer, but attorneys and policymakers developed and implemented the policies and litigation strategies that helped reduce smoking rates by more than half over the past 50 years.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study is to justify the feasibility of using regulatory policy and sectoral scientific tools in the daily activities of regulatory bodies. The study used a wide range of sources containing empirical data reflecting modern theoretical concepts of regulation. The authors used general scientific and special methods of cognition, methods of analysis and synthesis, formal logic, comparative jurisprudence, and interpretation of law. The result of the study was an overview of the points of view of modern scientists on regulation problems and the use of an intersectoral approach. In addition, the article provides a rationale for the need to use an intersectoral approach in regulation; the possibilities of attracting psychologists and criminologists, historians and political scientists have been identified. The novelty of the results obtained is due to the author’s approach to the study of the activities of regulatory bodies and lies in the fact that it has shown that in modern conditions, regulation takes on the character of scientific activity that requires broad knowledge. Currently, in the world practice, there are no examples of the inclusion of criminologists, political scientists, historians, sociologists, and ecologists in the staff structure of regulatory bodies as experts on a wide range of issues that managers have to solve when developing regulatory policy, choosing models, and developing regulatory strategies. Nowadays, all these issues are solved by the heads of regulatory bodies mostly intuitively, guided by their life experience and ideas about what should be done or subjective assessments, which does not contribute to the successful achievement of regulatory goals. Continuation of research on this topic will contribute to the development of theoretical ideas about the activities of regulatory bodies and the development of practical proposals aimed at increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of regulation.

Full textAbstract:
How do one hundred scientists reason in a uniform manner during the regulatory review of proposed medicines? This ethnographic account of scientists' reasoning is based on thirteen months of anthropological fieldwork among the hundred scientists in a Canadian government directorate mandated to assess the safety and efficacy of proposed medicines while "respecting philosophical and cultural diversity." The scientists themselves cannot be considered uniform. They were born in numerous countries around the world and educated in many scientific disciplines. Many scientists were also health practitioners, in a variety of traditions. The scientists expressed a wide range of opinions about the usefulness of traditional medicines and other "natural health products." This dissertation describes the ways in which scientists reasoned in their assessment work. Many scientists attributed the uniformity in their reasoning to their use of standards and to their frequent consultation of expert peers. I argue that these activities do not account for the most striking features of scientists' uniform style of reasoning, including scientists': directed perception; repetition of phrases like "we have to be flexible" in situations of uncertainty; acute sensitivity to fairness; common affective dispositions towards certain file traits; agnostic perspective towards the relation of textual standards to "reality"; and consideration of the licensing backlog. These features were inseparable from the omnipresent tools of managerialism such as quotas for the number of evaluations to be completed weekly. Certain of these striking features appeared to be further entrenched by the temporary, rather than permanent, appointment of half the scientific staff to their positions. This uniform style of reasoning had very little, if anything, to do with scientists' pre-existing "beliefs" and convictions. I argue that scientists were interpellated into this style of reasoning (including common directed perception and affective dispositions) through participation in the material and social structuring of activities in the Directorate, even though the pre-structuring of reasoning activities was never fully determined. The dissertation begins and ends with Ludwik Fleck's observation that "every epistemological theory is trivial that does not take th[e] sociological dependence of all cognition into account in a fundamental and detailed manner" (1979:43).Comment les scientifiques arrivent-ils à raisonner de façon si uniforme dans leur travail d'évaluation de l'innocuité et de l'efficacité des médicaments? Cette ethnographie du raisonnement des scientifiques est basée sur treize mois de recherches en 2006 et 2007 parmi une centaine de scientifiques au sein de la Direction des produits de santé naturels de Santé Canada. Les scientifiques qui y travaillent ont des origines et des trajectoires variées : ils sont nés dans le monde entier, se sont formés dans différentes disciplines scientifiques, pratiquent une gamme de traditions médicales en dehors de leur travail et ont des opinions diverses quant à l'utilité des médecines traditionnelles et autres médecines « naturelles ». Plusieurs scientifiques attribuent l'uniformité de leur raisonnement à l'utilisation de normes et à leur empressement à consulter leurs pairs. La thèse décrit la façon dont les scientifiques raisonnent à l'aide de normes textuelles et numériques ainsi que de consultations ciblées avec leurs collègues. Toutefois, ces activités n'expliquent pas les caractéristiques les plus frappantes du style de raisonnement des scientifiques, telles que leur « perception dirigée »; la répétition de phrases telles que « nous devons être flexibles » dans des situations de doutes; une sensibilité aiguë à l'équité; des dispositions affectives communes envers certains dossiers; un point de vue agnostique envers la relation entre normes textuelles et « réalité »; et la prise en considération du retard dans l'octroi de licences. Ces caractéristiques sont inséparables de certains outils clés du gestionnariat tels que les quotas pour le nombre d'évaluations hebdomadaires. Ce style de raisonnement a très peu, sinon rien à voir avec les « croyances » et les convictions préexistantes des scientifiques. Je soutiens que les scientifiques sont amenés à ce style de raisonnement à travers leur participation à l'organisation matérielle et sociale des activités de la Direction. La thèse s'ouvre et s'achève sur l'observation de Ludwik Fleck selon laquelle « toute théorie épistémologique est triviale si elle ne prend pas en considération la dépendance sociologique de toute connaissance de façon fondamentale et détaillée ».

Interviews with six drug regulatory reviewers and 11 pharmaceutical research scientists
were used to explore their perspectives on obstacles and opportunities for greater
implementation of the Three Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) in drug research and

pharmaceutical industry and viewed in vitro methods as complementing, but not replacing, the
use of animals. Obstacles to greater use of the Three Rs cited by participants included the lack
of well-researched and validated non-animal alternatives; the need to use certain numbers of
animals to achieve statistical validity; some regulatory requirements; reluctance by industry and
regulators to depart from established patterns of animal use; the priority of commercial
objectives ahead of the Three Rs; and concerns that less animal testing could jeopardize human
safety. Opportunities identified for the Three Rs included the development of better animal
models including genetically modified (GM) animals; pursuit of more basic knowledge, notably
drug action on gene expression; re-use of animals in successive studies; greater use of pilot
studies to avoid full-scale studies of unpromising drugs; using sufficient numbers of animals per
test to avoid repeating inconclusive studies; regular review of animal data and regulatory
requirements; and following the regulatory option of combining segments of reproductive
toxicology studies into one study. In some areas greater implementation of the Three Rs seemed
well aligned with industry priorities; examples included phenotypic characterization of GM
animals and validation of alternative methods. In other areas, wider use of the Three Rs may
require building consensus on areas of disagreement including the usefulness of death as an
endpoint, the suitability of re-using animals, and whether GM animals and the use of pilot
studies contribute to Reduction. The Three Rs, with their emphasis on decreasing use of
animals, may also be incompatible with the goal of protecting human safety and the commercial
objectives of the pharmaceutical industry.Land and Food Systems, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The collection was prepared based on the materials of the All-Russian Annual Meeting of Legal Theorists dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Russian legal scholar Albert Semenovich Pigolkin. The authors study the scientific heritage of A.S. Pigolkin, many of whose works are devoted to the issues of law-making and remain relevant, and also consider the problems of law-making, which is currently acquiring new features.
The first section presents the memories of colleagues and students about the personality of the scientist, the role of his developments for modern legal science and practice is outlined. The importance of methodological foundations for measuring the effectiveness of certain types of law enforcement activities, the doctrine of the division of the law-making process into stages, approaches to systematization and codification of legislation, interpretation of legal norms is emphasized.
In other sections, separate facets of this heritage are considered, including in the light of modern challenges, the general philosophical, socio-political and legal vision of the Russian legal system, as well as the development of digitalization processes. Inspired by the scientific ideas of Albert Semenovich, the authors explore contractual and judicial rulemaking, legal techniques and experimental legal regimes, pay attention to new trends in the use of the language of law, pose questions and give answers to many other problems of legal regulation.
The publication is aimed at the transfer of unique scientific experience, the development of the methodology of legal research, the formation of scientific approaches to improving the process
of preparation and adoption of regulatory legal acts, increasing the effectiveness of their action.
For legal scholars and practitioners, teachers, students and postgraduates
of law universities and faculties, experts in the field of law-making.

Abstract Gene drives, particularly synthetic gene drives, may help to address some important challenges, by efficiently altering specific sections of DNA in entire populations of wild organisms. Here we review the current development of the synthetic gene drives, especially those RNA-guided synthetic gene drives based on the CRISPR nuclease Cas. Particular focuses are on their possible applications in agriculture (e.g. disease resistance, weed control management), ecosystem conservation (e.g. evasion species control), health (e.g. to combat insect-borne and fungal infections), and for basic research in model organisms (e.g. Saccharomyces, fruit fly, and zebra fish). The physical, chemical, biological, and ecological containment strategies that might help to confine these gene drive-modified organisms are then explored. The gene flow issues, those from gene drive-derived organisms to the environment, are discussed, while possible mitigation strategies for gene drive research are explored. Last but not least, the regulatory context and opinions from key stakeholders (regulators, scientists, and concerned organizations) are reviewed, aiming to provide a more comprehensive overview of the field.

AbstractThis chapter looks at food system innovations and digital technologies as important drivers of productivity growth and improved food and nutrition security. The analysis emphasizes a mix of research feasibility and technology-enabling policy factors necessary to realize pro-poor benefits. Given their transformative potential and the urgency of developing the enabling R&D and policy trajectories required for impact, we highlight genome editing bio-innovations, specifically CRISPR-Cas9, to address sustainable agricultural growth; and digital technologies, including remote sensing, connected sensors, artificial intelligence, digital advisory services, digital financial services, and e-commerce, to help guide the operations and decision-making of farmers, traders, and policymakers in agricultural value chains.The analysis points to the need to close critical gaps in R&D investments, capabilities, and enabling policies and regulations to accelerate the scaling and adoption of innovations. At the global level, the engagement of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with global players should be facilitated to strengthen intellectual property (IP) access and the management of innovations; and North–South, South–South, and triangular cooperation should be promoted to strengthen LMICs’ regulatory capabilities. At the national level, countries need to invest in science-based participatory approaches to identify and adapt technologies to local conditions; close regulatory gaps through evidence-based frameworks that enable the rapid development, deployment, and safe use of innovations; close institutional and human capacity gaps by addressing limitations in institutional capacities and coordination, while training a new generation of scientists with the skills needed to develop and deliver innovations; develop an understanding of political economy factors for a nuanced knowledge of actors’ agendas to better inform communications and address technology hesitancy; close digital infrastructure gaps in rural areas by promoting simultaneous investments in digital infrastructure and electrification, reducing data costs, and improving digital literacy; and develop sustainable business models for digital service providers to help them achieve profitability, interoperability, and scale to reach a sustainable critical mass, and thus facilitate the adoption of food system innovations.

AbstractThe creation of an emissions trading system in Mexico as response to international policy on climate change forces the government and corporations to create new activities and responsibilities to address this issue. It is also important to know who will be the decision-maker and who is in charge of the institutional work (representation and negotiation). The main objective of this chapter is to point out who the stakeholders involved in the design, implementation, evaluation and transparency of the system are, or should be, according to the national regulatory framework and international summons. We shall also analyze the mechanics and information provided by the system and how it helps to make environmental policy, which helps to reduce emissions. Finally, we will also analyze whether it also helps to establish strategic alliances and international agreements toward common objectives and priorities. The chapter approaches the topic based on capacity development theory, which focuses on improving governance among different levels and stakeholders: government, companies, civil organizations, and scientists. We emphasize the potential of training spaces as a place for transformation and developing a learning framework whose own relevance relies on the focus of emergent strategies, which ensure the environmental integrity and conditions for the country’s competence in the international context. This chapter contributes to existing literature about the understanding of executing such a system, the stakeholders involved at the national level, and their potential to create international networks.

AbstractMany technologies are fast-growing drivers of innovation and as such have the potential for major transformations of people’s lives. Related to that, technologies and particularly the development of new technologies (also called emerging technologies) call for a variety of actors who try to make themselves heard in the public sphere. Scientists, economic actors, politicians, regulators, and ordinary citizens try to have a voice in the public discussion about the development, implementation, and specific applications of technologies—thus, they strive to reach the audience through media coverage.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to shed light on competition law issues arising from the extensive use of the blockchain technology. By using the example of the Diem, which has also aroused the interest of the European regulators, the author will try to illustrate the issues that the competent competition authorities will immediately have to deal with. These preliminary questions relate mainly to the re-definition of the concept of an ‘undertaking’ under the new circumstances and the attempt to define the relevant market on the basis of the existing theories. Indeed, legal scientists and economists have succeeded in highlighting the predominant theories for defining the relevant market in the blockchain environment. This study aims to support this vivid theoretical dialogue by suggesting an holistic theory which compromises all those previously expressed elements. In conclusion, this paper intends to investigate whether these new circumstances are endangering the very existence of competition law itself. The latter, in order to continue to fulfil its aim effectively, is probably very close to radical reforms, even in its most fundamental pillars.

"International Training Program in Support of Safety Analysis: 3D S.UN.COP—Scaling, Uncertainty and 3D Thermal-Hydraulics/Neutron-Kinetics Coupled Codes Seminars." In 14th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering. ASMEDC, 2006. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icone14-89902.
Full textAbstract:
Thermal-hydraulic system computer codes are extensively used worldwide for analysis of nuclear facilities by utilities, regulatory bodies, nuclear power plant designers and vendors, nuclear fuel companies, research organizations, consulting companies, and technical support organizations. The computer code user represents a source of uncertainty that can influence the results of system code calculations. This influence is commonly known as the ‘user effect’ and stems from the limitations embedded in the codes as well as from the limited capability of the analysts to use the codes. Code user training and qualification is an effective means for reducing the variation of results caused by the application of the codes by different users. This paper describes a systematic approach to training code users who, upon completion of the training, should be able to perform calculations making the best possible use of the capabilities of best estimate codes. In other words, the program aims at contributing towards solving the problem of user effect. The 3D S.UN.COP (Scaling, Uncertainty and 3D COuPled code calculations) seminars have been organized as follow-up of the proposal to IAEA for the Permanent Training Course for System Code Users [1]. Five seminars have been held at University of Pisa (2003, 2004), at The Pennsylvania State University (2004), at University of Zagreb (2005) and at the School of Industrial Engineering of Barcelona (2006). It was recognized that such courses represented both a source of continuing education for current code users and a mean for current code users to enter the formal training structure of a proposed ‘permanent’ stepwise approach to user training. The 3D S.UN.COP 2006 was successfully held with the attendance of 33 participants coming from 18 countries and 28 different institutions (universities, vendors, national laboratories and regulatory bodies). More than 30 scientists (coming from 13 countries and 23 different institutions) were involved in the organization of the seminar, presenting theoretical aspects of the proposed methodologies and holding the training and the final examination. A certificate (LA Code User grade) was released to participants that successfully solved the assigned problems. A sixth seminar will be organized in 2007 at the Texas A&M University involving more than 30 scientists between lecturers and code developers. (http://dimnp.ing.unipi.it/3dsuncop/2007)

Full textAbstract:
-Emergence of autonomous robotics and vehicles thanks to sensors, embedded processors and communication progress open new horizon for making remote sensing measurement without exposing human to unecessary risks. The collection of regular data in various environement (outdoor or indoor) allow more efficient predictive and preventive maintenance of assets that are difficult to access. Autonomous vehicle operating on ground, in the air or on water can shape a new future for science, industry and environnement. The optical and photonic industries offer now a wide range of compact sensor solutions using different wavelength not only to permit autoguidance of vehicles but also to complete the range of sensor already used for gathering various physical values with the advantage of non-contact. The application are numerous and encompass amongst other thermography, gas detection, hyperspectral imaging, security which can be extremely helpful for carrying day to day tasks for first responder, EHS officers, governmental regulatory organization, scientists…Routine checks can be thus envisaged that will save money by preventing or lessening risks or failure, better protecting environment and people, capitalizing on larger databases making use of AI. INNOVIDEA through its diverse industrial innovative partners will illustrate several example of use with drone (UAV/UAS/RPAS)

Full textAbstract:
The overarching mission of the Food Standards Agency (FSA) is tothe ensure that food is safe, food is what it says it is and that consumers can make informed choices about what to eat. These are of central importance to consumers with food hypersensitivity(FHS).Food hypersensitivity (FHS) encompasses both immune-mediated food hypersensitivity (food allergy and coeliac disease) and non-immune food intolerances. FHS is a complex, multifactorial disease of concern to multiple stakeholders including consumers with FHS, their families, clinicians, regulatory agencies and policy makers, scientists, food manufacturers and food business operators. It affects around 5-8% of children and 2-3% of adults in the UK, and although rare, can be fatal. Public concern over FHS has grown in recent years. In the UK and elsewhere, food recalls due to the presence of undeclared allergens feature predominantly in food alerts; legislation over food labelling has become clearer, and consumers and producers are more aware of FHS. The FSA has been a major funder of research into FHS for over 2 decades, and the outputs of the research programme has had significant impacts at a national and global scale, most notably in the area of the prevention of FHS in children and the presence of declared and undeclared allergens in food products. Strengthening protections for consumers with FHS is a top priority for the FSA. The FSA has established a Food Hypersensitivity Programme Board to oversee and coordinate its work in this area. The working group was tasked with reviewing the research into FHS supported by the Food Standards Agency to date, and prioritising those priority areas where the current scientific evidence is limited and therefore should be a focus for future research investment. The aim –to make the UK the best country in the world for consumers with food hypersensitivity.

Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI): Current status and future directions for drug development and the post-market setting. Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS), 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.56759/ojsg8296.
Full textAbstract:
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a growing challenge because of the ever- increasing number of drugs used in medical care. DILI is rare but can be serious and is largely unpredictable. It is an important cause of mortality and liver transplantation, and a leading cause of attrition in drug development. Progress is under way in identifying genetic risk factors, exploring new mechanistic concepts of the complex underlying interactions, and developing new biomarkers that can predict or diagnose DILI. The pharmaceutical industry has a key role in advancing these initiatives, and prospective DILI registries must adopt standard procedures for biological sample collection and storing. There is a strong need for standard guidelines to support these efforts. The consensus report of the CIOMS DILI Working Group aims to provide a critical framework and essential set of tools to detect, diagnose and manage DILI during drug development and in the post-marketing setting. The report is intended for clinical and basic pharmaceutical industry investigators who capture, analyze and communicate liver safety data in drug development. It is also intended for regulatory scientists and expert consultants who comprehensively evaluate new products and emerging biomarkers for their association with DILI risk, and for health care professionals who monitor and manage patients treated with potentially hepatotoxic drugs in clinical practice.

African Open Science Platform Part 1: Landscape Study. Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/assaf.2019/0047.
Full textAbstract:
This report maps the African landscape of Open Science – with a focus on Open Data as a sub-set of Open Science. Data to inform the landscape study were collected through a variety of methods, including surveys, desk research, engagement with a community of practice, networking with stakeholders, participation in conferences, case study presentations, and workshops hosted. Although the majority of African countries (35 of 54) demonstrates commitment to science through its investment in research and development (R&D), academies of science, ministries of science and technology, policies, recognition of research, and participation in the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI), the following countries demonstrate the highest commitment and political willingness to invest in science: Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. In addition to existing policies in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), the following countries have made progress towards Open Data policies: Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, South Africa and Uganda. Only two African countries (Kenya and South Africa) at this stage contribute 0.8% of its GDP (Gross Domestic Product) to R&D (Research and Development), which is the closest to the AU’s (African Union’s) suggested 1%. Countries such as Lesotho and Madagascar ranked as 0%, while the R&D expenditure for 24 African countries is unknown. In addition to this, science globally has become fully dependent on stable ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) infrastructure, which includes connectivity/bandwidth, high performance computing facilities and data services. This is especially applicable since countries globally are finding themselves in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is not only “about” data, but which “is” data. According to an article1 by Alan Marcus (2015) (Senior Director, Head of Information Technology and Telecommunications Industries, World Economic Forum), “At its core, data represents a post-industrial opportunity. Its uses have unprecedented complexity, velocity and global reach. As digital communications become ubiquitous, data will rule in a world where nearly everyone and everything is connected in real time. That will require a highly reliable, secure and available infrastructure at its core, and innovation at the edge.” Every industry is affected as part of this revolution – also science. An important component of the digital transformation is “trust” – people must be able to trust that governments and all other industries (including the science sector), adequately handle and protect their data. This requires accountability on a global level, and digital industries must embrace the change and go for a higher standard of protection. “This will reassure consumers and citizens, benefitting the whole digital economy”, says Marcus. A stable and secure information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure – currently provided by the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) – is key to advance collaboration in science. The AfricaConnect2 project (AfricaConnect (2012–2014) and AfricaConnect2 (2016–2018)) through establishing connectivity between National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), is planning to roll out AfricaConnect3 by the end of 2019. The concern however is that selected African governments (with the exception of a few countries such as South Africa, Mozambique, Ethiopia and others) have low awareness of the impact the Internet has today on all societal levels, how much ICT (and the 4th Industrial Revolution) have affected research, and the added value an NREN can bring to higher education and research in addressing the respective needs, which is far more complex than simply providing connectivity. Apart from more commitment and investment in R&D, African governments – to become and remain part of the 4th Industrial Revolution – have no option other than to acknowledge and commit to the role NRENs play in advancing science towards addressing the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). For successful collaboration and direction, it is fundamental that policies within one country are aligned with one another. Alignment on continental level is crucial for the future Pan-African African Open Science Platform to be successful. Both the HIPSSA ((Harmonization of ICT Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa)3 project and WATRA (the West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly)4, have made progress towards the regulation of the telecom sector, and in particular of bottlenecks which curb the development of competition among ISPs. A study under HIPSSA identified potential bottlenecks in access at an affordable price to the international capacity of submarine cables and suggested means and tools used by regulators to remedy them. Work on the recommended measures and making them operational continues in collaboration with WATRA. In addition to sufficient bandwidth and connectivity, high-performance computing facilities and services in support of data sharing are also required. The South African National Integrated Cyberinfrastructure System5 (NICIS) has made great progress in planning and setting up a cyberinfrastructure ecosystem in support of collaborative science and data sharing. The regional Southern African Development Community6 (SADC) Cyber-infrastructure Framework provides a valuable roadmap towards high-speed Internet, developing human capacity and skills in ICT technologies, high- performance computing and more. The following countries have been identified as having high-performance computing facilities, some as a result of the Square Kilometre Array7 (SKA) partnership: Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zambia. More and more NRENs – especially the Level 6 NRENs 8 (Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, and recently Zambia) – are exploring offering additional services; also in support of data sharing and transfer. The following NRENs already allow for running data-intensive applications and sharing of high-end computing assets, bio-modelling and computation on high-performance/ supercomputers: KENET (Kenya), TENET (South Africa), RENU (Uganda), ZAMREN (Zambia), EUN (Egypt) and ARN (Algeria). Fifteen higher education training institutions from eight African countries (Botswana, Benin, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan, and Tanzania) have been identified as offering formal courses on data science. In addition to formal degrees, a number of international short courses have been developed and free international online courses are also available as an option to build capacity and integrate as part of curricula. The small number of higher education or research intensive institutions offering data science is however insufficient, and there is a desperate need for more training in data science. The CODATA-RDA Schools of Research Data Science aim at addressing the continental need for foundational data skills across all disciplines, along with training conducted by The Carpentries 9 programme (specifically Data Carpentry 10 ). Thus far, CODATA-RDA schools in collaboration with AOSP, integrating content from Data Carpentry, were presented in Rwanda (in 2018), and during17-29 June 2019, in Ethiopia. Awareness regarding Open Science (including Open Data) is evident through the 12 Open Science-related Open Access/Open Data/Open Science declarations and agreements endorsed or signed by African governments; 200 Open Access journals from Africa registered on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ); 174 Open Access institutional research repositories registered on openDOAR (Directory of Open Access Repositories); 33 Open Access/Open Science policies registered on ROARMAP (Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies); 24 data repositories registered with the Registry of Data Repositories (re3data.org) (although the pilot project identified 66 research data repositories); and one data repository assigned the CoreTrustSeal. Although this is a start, far more needs to be done to align African data curation and research practices with global standards. Funding to conduct research remains a challenge. African researchers mostly fund their own research, and there are little incentives for them to make their research and accompanying data sets openly accessible. Funding and peer recognition, along with an enabling research environment conducive for research, are regarded as major incentives. The landscape report concludes with a number of concerns towards sharing research data openly, as well as challenges in terms of Open Data policy, ICT infrastructure supportive of data sharing, capacity building, lack of skills, and the need for incentives. Although great progress has been made in terms of Open Science and Open Data practices, more awareness needs to be created and further advocacy efforts are required for buy-in from African governments. A federated African Open Science Platform (AOSP) will not only encourage more collaboration among researchers in addressing the SDGs, but it will also benefit the many stakeholders identified as part of the pilot phase. The time is now, for governments in Africa, to acknowledge the important role of science in general, but specifically Open Science and Open Data, through developing and aligning the relevant policies, investing in an ICT infrastructure conducive for data sharing through committing funding to making NRENs financially sustainable, incentivising open research practices by scientists, and creating opportunities for more scientists and stakeholders across all disciplines to be trained in data management.
