UniPID Webinar: AU-EU science, technology and innovation collaboration for Finnish universities

The African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU) initiated bicontinental science, technology and innovation collaboration at the Tripoli Summit in 2010. Thus, AU-EU High-Level Policy Dialogue celebrated its 15th anniversary last autumn, taking stock of the progress in the partnership. This webinar focuses on opportunities for Finnish universities to take part in that collaboration.

The Finnish University Partnership for International Development (UniPID) has been involved in advancing collaboration in science and technology between Europe and Africa since CAAST-NET project as of 2008, with participation in nine Framework Programme 7 and Horizon 2020/Europe funded projects focusing on Africa-EU research and innovation partnerships. As a network of ten Finnish universities with the mission to enhance global responsibility and to promote equitable and inclusive global partnerships that advance sustainable development, UniPID supports building research collaborations between Finnish and African stakeholders.

Thus, the UniPID Webinar on AU-EU Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) collaboration presents the broader AU-EU STI collaboration framework, including the EU policies, AU-EU High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) and its priority areas and the Joint AU-EU Innovation Agenda. During the event, participants have the opportunity to learn about past AU-EU research projects and ongoing and upcoming open calls for funding of joint projects.
