Cooperation between Africa and Europe – best practice, future possibilities, and the role of Science Europe

Co-operation between Africa and Europe

Best practices and future possibilities

Science Europe and its Member Organisations share an ambition to develop opportunities for cross-border collaboration to support excellence in science. Recognising that we should no longer categorise the world into the Global North and Global South as we are one world facing common challenges, Science Europe's High-Level Policy Network on Cross-border Collaboration is launching a new series of workshops on this theme, between our members and different world regions in turn.

The first workshop in Tallinn on 30 October follows the European GRC Regional Meeting and will focus on Africa–Europe co-operation. Selected European and African countries will share existing good practices and opportunities for future co-operation, exploring the following questions:

• How can we further develop and increase co-operation between Africa and Europe?
• What are the preferred approaches to co-operation from an African perspective?
• How can we develop our future co-operation based on reciprocity and equitable partnerships?
