Der Artikel versucht die künftigen Aufgaben der Wissenschafts- und Technologieentwicklung in Afrika auf dem Hintergrund der bisherigen Entwicklungen (und Versäumnisse) zu beschreiben. Dafür werden die bisherigen, weitgehend erfolglosen Anstrengungen, eine eigene Wissenschafts- und Technologieentwicklung zu initiieren, rekapituliert (u.a. wird auf CASTAFRICA, Conference of the Ministers of Science and Technology in Africa, verwiesen), um dann auf die notwendige "Industrialisierung der Forschung" und Urheberrechtsprobleme einzugehen. Schließlich wird ausführlich auf den Zusammenhang zwischen technischer Hochschulausbildung und Wissenschafts- und Technologieentwicklung eingegangen. (DÜI-Sbd)
