Data Science Africa (DSA) continues to advance applied AI research across the continent through its Visiting Fellowship Program, which provides researchers with opportunities to gain hands-on experience, strengthen industry-relevant skills, and contribute to projects that directly impact African communities. The program emphasises practical applications of AI, ensuring that research goes beyond theory to deliver tools that serve real community needs.
