Overview

 

The 2024 ISF, an integral part of the Oxford Africa Conference, invites submissions from current students at the University of Oxford and students across the African continent. This year, we are piloting a new collaborative approach by partnering with leading universities in each of the four key African regions—the West, East, North, and South—to promote the open call in their universities through ambassadors. This pilot program aims to gauge the effectiveness of regional collaboration and sets the stage for potentially broader participation in future conferences. Participants can submit their work in three main categories: research, entrepreneurship, and development, all of which align with the focus areas of the Oxford Africa Conference.

​

Areas of focus:

• Governance and Democracy

• Economic Development and Entrepreneurship

• Healthcare and Well-being

• Climate, Innovation and Sustainability

• Gender Equity and Empowerment

• AI and Technology
