Description
BRICS Astronomy’s flagship program, the BITDN, aims not only to advance the frontiers of science but also to develop the skills of learners, researchers, and communicators across the BRICS countries and the Global South. This talk will showcase how BRICS Astronomy leverages expertise in Astronomy, Astrophysics, and Big Data to contribute to the development of societies hosting astronomical facilities. It will highlight lessons learned from BRICS-wide initiatives, including data analysis projects, hackathons, science communication efforts, and Virtual Observatory training programs, as well as opportunities for the broader African community to engage and participate.
