Les Assises de la Recherche et de l’Innovation 2022 in Mauritius (ARI 2022) and Rodrigues (RodInov 2022) was organised, whereby a national dialogue was initiated and conducive framework for policy revamping was provided in seven identified thematics. The outcome served as the foundation for the recommendations that shaped the National Roadmap for Research and Innovation (NRRI). 

​

As planned, the NRRI underwent a midterm review on the 23rd and 24th of January 2025. Given that most of thematic areas have reached completion and taking into consideration the evolution of the socio-economic environment, it has been proposed to consider alignment of current ongoing thematic areas and consideration of new sectors of development.
