What happens when digital infrastructure moves beyond simply connecting institutions and becomes a foundation for knowledge, collaboration and innovation across Africa?
Across the continent, National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) are playing an increasingly important role in strengthening research and education ecosystems. Yet the challenge is no longer just connectivity it is how these networks can enable researchers and institutions to access knowledge, share infrastructure, collaborate across borders and build on African solutions.
In this episode of Mazungumzo: African Scholarly Conversations, Joy Owango speaks with Solomon Dindi, Chief Executive Officer; Ulemu Maseko, Partnerships and Programs Coordinator; and Jones Kumwenda, Systems Engineer, from the Malawi Research and Education Network (MAREN).
Their conversation explores MAREN’s journey and the evolving role of NRENs in Africa’s research and education landscape. They discuss digital infrastructure, research repositories, cloud services, knowledge management, Open Science and access to research resources—and what it takes to build systems that do more than connect institutions.
The conversation also looks at the importance of stronger connections between African NRENs, enabling researchers to access knowledge and data, collaborate across borders, share infrastructure and learn from solutions emerging across the continent.
As part of Mazungumzo’s ongoing conversations with NRENs through the Ubuntu Alliance, this episode highlights how digital infrastructure can become the foundation for a more connected African research ecosystem—one where infrastructure connects not only institutions, but also African minds, knowledge and possibilities.
