Business Talk – Dr Heide Hackmann on the importance of open science

Hackmann is the Director of Future Africa and the Strategic Advisor on Transdisciplinarity and Global Knowledge Networks at the University of Pretoria. In her interview with Michael Avery, Hackmann discusses the ins and outs of open science and what it entails – which was the theme of the recent Africa Week event hosted by the University of Pretoria. She explains why this concept is particularly important in the context of Africa, and unpacks the main challenges holding back scientific transparency on the continent. Hackmann also delves deeper into Africa Week and discusses why the University of Pretoria chooses to hold such events. She concludes by noting the importance of collaboration between the state and academia, and explains how private stakeholders can further open science, too.
