AREN was established to bridge the gaps in open science advocacy and adoption by supporting researchers and institutions in Africa transition to reproducible and open research practices through sustainable approaches tailored to the needs of various local communities across the continent.

Assembled a team to help translate help guides for the Open Science Framework (OSF) website into African languages. We have completed the Swahili translation which is now live on the OSF help guides page. This project will aid in increasing the use of the platform in Africa and consequently foster the adoption of more open science practices.

The programme starts with eight months of learning and community building with training on open science, equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), science communication, leadership, research reproducibility, advocacy and influencing skills, and lots more.In the second phase of the programme, the activism phase, the Ambassadors will use their training, awareness and networks to delve into their key areas of concern with research culture.
