The Future Earth Africa hub and its Leadership Center, supported by the National Research Fund (NRF) Kenya, the Future Earth East Africa Node at Maseno University, and the National Research Foundation (NRF) South Africa, will host the third edition of the Africa Satellite Event as part of the Sustainability Research and Innovation (SRI) Congress 2025 in Chicago US at the University of Nairobi, Kenya.

Like all previous editions of the SRI Africa Satellite Event, the Event 2025 will feature live hybrid engagements occurring worldwide. This will create an inclusive, round-the-clock interactive program linked to the main SRI event in the US. The SRI Africa event will feature local-to-regional sessions with a regional-to-global audience, exploring actionable approaches to sustainability research and innovation. These connection points and opportunities for in-person participation beyond the central Congress location will enhance SRI’s global perspective and make the Congress accessible to a wider audience across the globe.

The Africa Satellite Event will provide an opportunity to engage on African sustainability issues, opportunities, and solutions. It will offer a platform for engagement and collaboration, creating opportunities for early-career researchers, established researchers, research managers, policymakers, and industry experts to share their ideas, relevant knowledge, and information. This will help strengthen the next generation of researchers in Africa.
