Mission of Switzerland to the EU
Place du Luxembourg 1
1050 Brussels
The University of Bern, The Guild, and SwissCore are jointly organizing a Research and Innovation Briefing on ‘Africa – Europe 360° cooperation based on equitable R&I partnerships: role and contribution from Switzerland’ that will take place at the Mission of Switzerland to the EU on 9 April 2025 (from 13:30), followed by a networking cocktail (from 17:40).
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.
This event will take a closer look on 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.
This event will bring Brussels-based stakeholders and policymakers together with Swiss and African scientists to discuss how future policies and programmes should facilitate R&I cooperation between the two continents.
