Rwanda Academy Of Sciences

About RAS

The project of establishing the Rwanda Academy of Sciences (RAS) was initiated back in July 2013 under the auspices of the Ministry of Education with the support of both The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) and the African Academy of Sciences (AAS). It was later advised that the Academy should be established as an independent entity registered under RGB and with initial support from GOR and sustained support from GoR, decreasing over time. Following this advice Rwanda Academy of Sciences (RAS) has since been established on 28th October 2016 and registered by the Rwanda Governance Board under as new National Non-Governmental Organization. RAS has also recently been admitted (2018) as a Member of the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC).
