Erika Kraemer-Mbula (DPhil Oxford, MSc Sussex)

Initially trained as an Economist, Erika Kraemer-Mbula holds a

Masters in Science and Technology Policy by SPRU (with

distinction, Science and Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex),

and a doctorate in Development Studies from the University of

Oxford. In her academic and professional career, Erika has adopted a

cross-disciplinary approach to explore alternative development paths

for African countries.

Research experience

Erika’s research interests have focussed on Science and Technology Policy analysis, innovation

systems and various routes to creating technological competencies in Africa, including public

policy, technological learning and international cooperation in STI. Some of her most recent

academic research posts include: Research Associate at the Institute of Economic Research on

Innovation (IERI), Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa (from 2006 to present). At

IERI she has been a leading researcher on projects related to: (i) governance of international

cooperation in Science, Technology and Innovation; (ii) review of the South African research

and innovation system (ERAWATCH Country Report for South Africa 2011), (iii)

benchmarking innovation; (iv) value chain analysis of the skills system in South Africa’s

aerospace sector; and several other projects related to innovation at the micro level, including

the innovation dynamics in cooperatives. She has also held research officer positions at Centre

for Research in Innovation Management (CENTRIM) in Brighton, and the Science and Policy

Research Unit (SPRU) at the University of Sussex, UK – from 2001 to 2011. In these

organisations she has been involved in a wide portfolio of research projects related to innovation

management and innovation policy.

Consultancy and advisory roles

Erika has undertaken a range of advisory and consultancy assignments with international

institutions such as UNESCO, UNIDO, OECD, IDRC, TWAS (the academy of sciences for the

developing world) and the World Bank. Her experience in this area includes the evaluation of

strategic innovation-related programmes of international donor organisations, reviewing

regional and national STI policies, as well as supporting the implementation of innovation

strategies in African countries. Erika is currently an appointed member of the advisory panels

for CAAST-Net and ERAfrica, which are platforms to promote Europe-Africa collaboration in

science and technology research for innovation and sustainable development.

Interventions and publications

Erika has published articles and chapters on innovation dynamics, technological capabilities and

innovation systems in developing countries in relation to various sectors (including ICTs,

agriculture, etc). She makes regular interventions in international conferences and workshops

and is an active member of the Globelics network. She has recently co-authored volumes on

'Industrial Competitiveness in Africa' (ITDG), which analyses African technological

competencies; and 'Innovation and the Development Agenda' (OECD/IDRC) which explores a

number of under-researched areas critical for African development in STI.
