 | Development in Africa with Radio Astronomy (DARA) is a joint UK — South Africa Newton funded project that uses radio astronomy training to develop high level technical skills in young graduates. The partnership is an implementation Data Science Hackathons, where DARA funds and support Data Science Hackathons in the DARA partner Countries. |
 | The Inter-university Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy (IDIA) is a partnership between three South African universities (Cape Town, Western Cape, Pretoria) and the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory. Its main goal is to develop expertise in data-intensive research, enabling South Africa to lead global projects on MeerKAT and other SKA pathfinder telescopes. The partnership with Hack4dev focuses on implementing Data Science Hackathons, with dedicated support provided through access to the ilifu cloud computing facility across partner countries in Africa. |
 | The Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD), a joint project of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and the South African National Research Foundation (NRF), with support from the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI), aims to use astronomy as a tool for development. Its mission is to harness astronomy’s scientific, technological, and cultural benefits by mobilising the necessary resources. Hack4dev benefits from the OAD’s experience in running global development projects. Specifically, the OAD provides guidance and support in the operations of data science hackathons, supporting Hack4dev’s broader global mission. |
 | BRICS Astronomy Working Group aims to promote cooperation between BRICS member countries in the field of astronomy and enabling technologies through joint activities of government, universities, research institutions, and industry, as relevant, to develop astronomical sciences, generate new knowledge, train human capital, develop new technologies and applications, and improve public understanding of science. Hack4dev engages with BRICS astronomy on the implementation of Data Scince Hackathon across BRICS+ nations. |
 | The African Astronomical Society (AfAS) is a Pan-African professional organization of astronomers. Its vision is to build a globally competitive and collaborative astronomy community in Africa. AfAS’s mission is to promote and advance astronomy, addressing Africa’s challenges and developing astronomy and human capacity across the continent. Hack4dev engages with AfAS to promote Data Science Hackathons across Africa |
