The EC has recently established an Advisory Group on African-European Research and Innovation Cooperation. This Advisory Group is working on papers to give recommendations to the EC on how to improve research and innovation strategies related to cooperation with Africa. There are four thematic pillars: health, R&I capacities, innovation and technology, and the Green Transition in Africa.
As part of this work, a survey related to the R&I capacities policy study is currently open to identify ways to strengthen R&I capacities in Africa focusing on both regional and bilateral cooperation. Your participation will greatly assist in coming up with concrete recommendations on ways to mainstream R&I in Africa-Europe Cooperation.
