Busara and the Economic Science Association (ESA) will co-host the 2025 ESA Africa Conference from June 25 to June 27 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya. This regional conference brings together researchers, economists, and scholars from across the African continent and around the globe to showcase cutting-edge research, evidence, and innovations in the fields of experimental and behavioral economics.

The 2025 ESA Africa Conference will provide a platform for fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, exchanging knowledge, and advancing experimental approaches to understand human behavior and inform policy and practice.

“This partnership reflects Busara’s commitment to driving conversations that bring forward the latest in experimental research and showcase how economics can come together with other disciplines to enhance our understanding of human behavior, which is a precondition for sustainable development,” said Engy Saleh, Director of Behavioral Research and Academic Engagements (BRACE) at Busara.

“We’re honored to co-host such a prominent conference in Nairobi and be part of the efforts to shed the light on the Global South as a hub for producing and exchanging knowledge and cutting-edge research.”

“The 2025 ESA Africa Conference offers an unparalleled opportunity to bring together diverse researchers in experimental and behavioral economics,” said Charles Noussair, President of the Economic Science Association . “We are excited to collaborate with Busara to highlight impactful research and foster new partnerships that will shape the future of the field.”

The Economic Science Association is a global professional organization devoted to advancing economics as an observational science through controlled experiments. Together with Busara, this partnership seeks to spotlight Africa’s role in shaping the future of experimental and behavioral economics.
