African Virtual Affiliate Program

The Virtual Affiliate Program provides the opportunity for Africa-based scholars to establish a formal relationship with KASC. Each academic year, KASC invites faculty from African universities to apply to the program. A subcommittee of the KASC Executive Committee meets to review applications and to select affiliates. Successful applicants receive official KU status as an Adjunct Researcher in KASC, which grants them remote access to KU Libraries and other digital resources at KU.

KASC is pleased to announce the new group of Virtual Affiliates for AY 2026-2027.
