Abstract: | In September 1963 the authors visited Ruanda, Burundi and eastern Congo to make contact with two branches of l'Institut pour Recherche Scientifique en Afrique Centrale (IRSAC), and to examine the scope for social scientific research in the former Belgian territories. The article gives information on practical matters and conditions met by the authors during their trip as there are: border formalities; currency rates; the situation of the IRSAC branches at Butare (formerly Astrida) and Lwiro and the scholars met there; the possibility of building up links between Butare and East Africa (Makerere) through cooperative research and exchange of students; the political situation in Rwanda and its practical consequences; life and travel in the Congo with its 'limited' anarchy. |
