This Community Talks will focus on possible solutions for two major problems affecting the region of Mombasa and, by extension, Kenya and sub-Saharan Africa.

• The first problem to be addressed is the use of fossil fuels, such as wood and LPG, as cooking sources;
• The second issue concerns waste management, specifically organic waste from local marketplaces.

The African continent is growing in both political and economic importance. At the same time, 1 in 5 people is confronted with hunger. One of the biggest issues is how to increase food security and make farmers resilient to climate change, without damaging the climate and biodiversity. 

This event therefore focuses on the use of innovative technologies for sustainable food systems in Africa.

This doctoral course examines the legacy of the Bandung Conference as a geopolitical movement, a historical moment, and a critical trope for analyzing contemporary global events and South-South relations.

In this three-day intensive, multidisciplinary program, participants will have the opportunity to explore the significance of the Bandung Conference, engage with critical debates that cluster around it, and examine how it provides a framework for studying decolonization.

We are witnessing a moment where Du Bois, Fanon, and other radical -black- scholars, are appearing more often in syllabi, but are they being read, or merely referenced? And when they are read, are their most radical insights being taken seriously, or softened for institutional palatability?

Africa might be construed as the centre of the world historically. More than other continents, it has been the ground for earliest waves of human evolution. As the most diverse continent on the planet, with an ecosystem, biodiversity, and genetic variability, Africa, in a sense, contains the world within it, and the world around it simultaneously contains it.

These dual dynamics and all the possibilities and tensions they engender are what we aim to capture with this conference's theme: Globalised Africa - Africa as the microcosm of the globe and Africa within the global order. Globalised Africa dispels the monolithic narratives of a homogeneous Africa as a country. It also examines Africa's presence and impact on the world and its history.

The Royal Academy for Overseas Sciences will organize its sixth Theme Day on Monday 1 December 2025.
