The Senegalese Academy of Sciences was set up in November 1999 to promote sciences and technology, and assist the government in defining its scientific and technological policy. Its annual assembly's opening session is chaired by the Head of State, Grand Patron of the Academy, and 60 seats are available for the three sections: (1) medical sciences; (2) sciences and technology; and (3) agriculture and veterinary medicine. Current academy activities include the identification of expert scientists, promotion of science to the general public through symposia, lectures and prizes, and the use of regional and international networking.
