Join leading African and global scholars for the 2nd In-person NetprosAfrica Workshop, hosted by the Business History Lab at Africa Business School, University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (ABS-UM6P).  

Building on the success of the inaugural meeting in Cape Town in 2024, NetprosAfrica continues to advance practice-based management research rooted in African contexts and empirical realities. 
 
NetprosAfrica fosters collaboration, knowledge sharing, and methodological innovation to shape a distinctly African contribution to global management scholarship. The organisation continues to build momentum through regular webinars and global scholarly engagement, with a focus on: 

• Developing African research capacity in qualitative and practice-based methods
• Fostering theoretical novelty rooted in African empirical settings
• Reviewing and reframing knowledge through a practice-based lens
• Enhancing knowledge sharing and collaboration among scholars worldwide
• Bridging research and practice for real-world impact in Africa
• Opening new pathways for long-term scholarly partnerships 
• Innovating effective approaches towards African management research 
   

This in-person workshop will bring together members of the five NetprosAfrica working groups (Strategy-as-Practice, Organisations and Work, Entrepreneurship, Sustainability, and Innovation) to reflect, collaborate, and chart the next phase of scholarly engagement. 

 
 
Objectives of the in-person workshop 

• Take stock of progress and recalibrate goals
• Reflect on theorising modes of engagement with African contexts
• Network and share work-in-progress
• Explore future opportunities for research collaboration
• Advance methods aimed specifically at African contexts
• Enable sustainable partnerships and dialogical exchanges 

We look forward to welcoming you to Rabat in January 2026.
