33 | 3/19/2019 0:36:22 | Baratoux David | Research Institute for Sustainable Development | Senior Scientist | Maram KAIRE, early career preference | Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation of Senegal | Senegal | I believe that Maram KAIRE will be the best choice for a representation of the french-speaking West African in the Executive Committee. Though Maram KAIRE is not working directly in the academic world, he has an outstanding record of activities in the domain of public outreach of astronomy in West Africa. He has also pushed for several years a project for an astronomical observatory in Senegal, and this project will be achieved in 2019. Maram Kaire has an obvious leadership - he is simply "the face of astronomy and popularization of science" in Senegal. He his also a hard-working person, and an example for many of his colleagues and for the young generation in Senegal. I know that he must be with the minister on the days of the conference, and he deeply regrets that he will not be able to attend the conference in Cape town. | ||||||

She is willing to find an academic position in Africa to support the development of African Astronomy. She will certainly have to pursue her career abroad for a certain period of time, but I wish that the will be offered an academic position in Africa. I think that African Astronomy definitively needs scientific personalities like Meriem, and if there is a seat for young scientist in the executive committee, I see Meriem as one of the most promising candidates. | ||||||
