In Burkina Faso\, national development policies place strong emphasis on the promotion of research and innovation as key driver s for generating endogenous solutions and addressing local challenges affe cting communities. In this regard\, doctoral schools have been established in universities across a wide range of disciplines\, including exact scie nces\, social sciences\, law\, economics\, and health sciences. Promoting research and innovation also requires the effective dissemination of resea rch findings to the global scientific community through publications in pe er-reviewed journals\, oral communications\, and poster presentations at n ational and international conferences.\n\nHowever\, scientific publication s in high-impact conferences and journals are still largely dominated by m ajor universities in developed countries\, large technology corporations\, and senior researchers. Contributions from young researchers\, particular ly doctoral students and early-career professionals\, remain limited. In t he specific context of international conferences organized under the auspi ces of the IEEE Burkina Faso Subsection\, many submitted papers address or iginal and highly relevant topics\, yet a significant number do not fully meet international editorial and scientific writing standards. This situat ion is especially concerning at a time when some of the most promising inn ovations are emerging from young researchers working in rapidly evolving a nd transformative fields.\n\nIn recognition of this challenge\, the IEEE B urkina Faso Subsection has included a capacity-building program in scienti fic article writing in its annual activity plan. This initiative is intend ed for doctoral students from public and private universities in Burkina F aso\, as well as for researchers and innovation professionals. The program is being implemented in collaboration with the Doctoral Schools of Scienc e and Technology of universities in Burkina Faso.\n\nBefore the workshop\, an introductory presentation will be organized to raise awareness about t he IEEE\, its fields of activity\, and to encourage wider membership.\n\nC o-sponsored by: Université Joseph KI-ZERBO\, Ouagadougou\n\nUniversité J osep KI ZERBO Ouagadougou\, 03 BP7021 Ouaga 03\, Ouagadougou\, Burkina Fas o\, Burkina Faso\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/547583 LOCATION:Université Josep KI ZERBO Ouagadougou\, 03 BP7021 Ouaga 03\, Ouag adougou\, Burkina Faso\, Burkina Faso\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.iee e.org/m/547583 ORGANIZER:marcel.kebre@ujkz.bf SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Workshop on Capacity Building in Scientific Writing and Article Pre paration – Ouagadougou URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/547583 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p data-start="133" data-end="891">Scientific research and innovation play a vital role in the development of nations.
