The ARIN Interim Advisory Board

The Interim Advisory Board is made up of the regional focal points drawn from the four African regions. The board  provides support and advice to academic and research programs, assist in the development of new programs, and identify best-practice standards. They serve as ambassadors of the Network, providing a connection to and ongoing exchange of information and ideas with members of a broader society. The board members also engage in periodic intellectual discussions on the future of Africa’s research and impact pathways.
