Our mission includes:
- Establishing and providing mechanisms for synergistic scientific and technical collaborations among physical scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technologists from America and Europe and their counterparts from developing countries, especially Africa;
- Enhancing the impact of science and technology on the sustainable development of the countries on the African continent;
- Increasing the technical manpower pool working in Africa today by facilitating the training of Ph.D. students from African universities;
- Creating close contacts on a World-Wide basis with university, governmental, private sector institutions and organizations, and foundations which facilitate and advance EBASI objectives;
- Initiating any other activities that advance EBASI objectives.

Prof. Professor James O. C. Ezeilo
ICTP-EBASI
The Basic Science, Technology and Innovation Award recognizes Professor Malik Maaza as the pioneer and the architect of nanosciences and nanotechnology in Africa.
His Award recognizes his work on biodiversity conservation, environmental sustainability and a greener economy over the last 5 to 10 years.
Professor Maaza also received the World Cultural Council (WCC) National Research Foundation (NRF South Africa) with the JOSÉ VASCONCELOS World Award of Education for 2018 for his positive impact on the cultural legacy of mankind. Also see the announcement by the World Cultural Council which states that ``Professor Mâaza has worked tirelessly to raise funds worldwide in support of researchers from less affluent countries. He has helped scientists from war zones in Africa and the Middle East pursue their research and has organised periodic exchanges between renowned scientists of Israeli and Arabic origin, seeking to build bridges through science." The WCC Jury was additionally impressed by Professor Mâaza’s promotion of female scientists in conservative communities.
The prize recognizes Prof. Mickens' research and work on the underrepresentation of minorities in mathematics.
will share the American Physical Society 2017 Robert R. Wilson Prize with theoretical physicists James D. Bjorken (professor emeritus at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) and Anton Piwinski (scientist at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron [DESY] in Germany) for Achievement in the Physics of Particle Accelerators for ground-breaking and outstanding theoretical work on particle beams in accelerators. Dr. Sekazi Mtingwa also received the Distinguished Service Award from the American Nuclear Society at its November 9, 2015 ANS Winter Meeting.
