</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La <strong>Société malienne des sciences appliquées (MSAS)</strong> est une organisation scientifique à but non lucratif fondée par des chercheurs maliens, de la diaspora et du pays.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Depuis 1995, ces femmes et ces hommes engagés œuvrent sans relâche pour le développement des sciences et de la recherche appliquée au Mali et en Afrique. Leur action s’inscrit en collaboration étroite avec l’organisation <strong>Initiative mAliWatch, Civisme et Bénévolat</strong>, fondée par des Maliens résidant en Amérique du Nord.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Depuis près de 30 ans, le <strong>Symposium malien des sciences appliquées (MSAS)</strong> se tient tous les deux ans au Mali, avec le soutien des autorités nationales, de partenaires institutionnels et de généreux donateurs. Au fil des éditions, il est devenu un rendez-vous scientifique incontournable en Afrique francophone.

</div>
<div><strong>Artificial Intelligence and Circular Economy in Africa for Sustainable and Inclusive Development</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Dates: August 2–8, 2026</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Background</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The <strong>Malian Society for Applied Sciences (MSAS)</strong> is a non-profit scientific organization founded by Malian researchers both at home and in the diaspora.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 1995, these dedicated women and men have worked tirelessly to advance science and applied research in Mali. Their efforts are carried out in close collaboration with <strong>Initiative mAliWatch, Civisme et Bénévolat</strong>, a nonprofit organization established by Malians living in North America.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For nearly 30 years, the <strong>Malian Symposium on Applied Sciences (MSAS)</strong> has been held every two years in Bamako, with the support of national authorities, institutional partners, and generous donors. Over time, it has become a leading scientific gathering in Francophone Africa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Contribution to Science in Mali and Africa</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The MSAS regularly welcomes researchers from Mali, the rest of Africa, and from other continents.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since its inception, the Symposium proceedings have published several hundred scientific papers covering strategic fields such as:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>agriculture</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>education</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>environment</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>climatology</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>emerging technologies</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>and other key development sectors</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Symposium also provides hundreds of Master’s and PhD students with a unique platform to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>present their research findings</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>engage with international experts</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>participate in specialized training workshops</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>discuss major sustainable development challenges in Mali and across Africa</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>2026 Edition</strong>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Artificial Intelligence and Circular Economy in Africa for Sustainable and Inclusive Development</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Organizing this event requires an estimated budget of <strong>50,000,000 CFA francs</strong> (approximately <strong>USD 45,000–50,000</strong>).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While the Government of Mali and several partners have supported previous editions, the current context makes it essential to seek additional support from individuals and institutions willing to contribute to the success of an event that has become a true scientific showcase for the region.
