DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Liezel Cilliers (University of Fort Hare)\nThere are
  arguments amongst academics and practitioners alike for the importance of
  countries on the African to plug into the information society. On the gro
 und\, this has resulted in an emphasis on the importance of partnerships n
 ot just within institutions of higher learning but also amongst those in i
 ndustry. Internationally\, we note the growth in interest of research arou
 nd such partnerships and a documented trail of evidence within the academi
 c and practitioner press. The focal point of such research appears to be c
 entered on documented evidence-based interactions of such partnerships. Su
 ch international research is lauded in aiding our understanding and proffe
 ring best practices around human and computer system interaction issues. D
 espite this progress\, we note with concern scant focus on African case ex
 amples around academia-industry collaborations and issues related to high 
 performance computing access and utilization. In this study\, through a sy
 stematic literature review\, we attempt to present the state of being arou
 nd such research on the African continent using published peer-reviewed st
 udies published between 2000 and 2020. The research findings are grouped a
 round: a) the research methods utilized\; b) underpinning theories and c) 
 key factors employed to study academia-industry information collaboration\
 , utilization\, and access issues related to high-performance computing sy
 stems. Based on the review\, we then suggest future research directions in
 cluding themes that may enhance academia-industry partnerships around issu
 es related to high-performance computing systems access and utilization on
  the African continent. This research provides useful insights to academic
 s and practitioners on the African continent against the presented ideals.
