The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

There has been significant research attention and focus on industrial science and technology policies in developed economies that have been at the forefront of implementing various policy initiatives designed to stimulate firm level R&D, enhance university industry collaborations, and support entrepreneurs and start-ups. However, there has not been the same consistent research attention on science and technology policy in less developed countries where there are distinct economic, social, cultural and institutional differences. Industrial, Science and Technology Policy in Africa considers some of the contextual issues for science and technology policy development in Africa and proposes future avenues for research.
