Natnael Tilahun Sinshaw, a young researcher at Addis Ababa University of Science and Technology (AASTU) in Ethiopia, has been awarded the 2023 ENI Prize in the category “Early-Career Research: Young Talents from Africa”.
The ENI Prize, established in 2007 by the Italian National Hydrocarbons Company (ENI), has become an international benchmark for research in the fields of energy and the environment.
«Early-Career Research: Young Talents of Africa Award» is one of the six categories of the ENI Awards, alongside the Energy Frontiers, Advanced Environmental Solutions, Energy Transition and Young Researcher of the Year awards, as well as the ENI Innovation Recognition Award.
The aim of the «Research Debut Award: Young Talents from Africa» is to help new generations of African researchers to emerge, by offering them the opportunity to undertake a PhD programme in collaboration with prestigious Italian universities and research institutes, and by supporting their research and innovations on the various scientific topics promoted by the ENI Award.
Natnael Tilahun Sinshaw is one of the beneficiaries of the call for proposals on “enhancing inclusion and gender equality through AI in sub-Saharan Africa” and is currently working on a project entitled «Diversity and gender equity in the AI ecosystem: a systematic literature review in African languages».
This project is being carried out as part of the Network for Gender and Responsible AI Initiative, which aims to advance gender inclusion and equality in sub-Saharan Africa through the responsible and locally-led development and deployment of innovations in artificial intelligence. GRAIN is led by a consortium comprising IPAR, Sunbird AI and CSEA, and is funded under the Artificial Intelligence for Development in Africa (AI4D Africa) programme, with financial support from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
