The University of Bern, The Guild, and SwissCore jointly organise a Research and Innovation Briefing, taking place on 9 April 2025.
The African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU) adopted in July 2023 the joint AU-EU Innovation Agenda to enhance cooperation in science, technology and innovation. Universities have been engaged and contributing to the priority areas of this agenda and can play an instrumental role in building a competitive, 360-degree approach for Europe’s international partnerships with colleagues in Africa and across the wider global stage.
During this event, hosted by the Mission of Switzerland to the EU, we will look into the Africa-Europe Clusters of Research Excellence (CoRE) launched by the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) and The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities and how this initiative contributed to creating equitable partnerships. Furthermore, leading scientists will present their initiatives, achievements and challenges faced while engaging in international cooperation.
