ProgrammesThe University of Bristol and the Coimbra Group Global Partnerships Working Group with the support of the University of Bergen are jointly organizing a two part workshop to present and discuss the Africa Charter for Transformative Research Collaborations. The Africa Charter, co-created by Africa’s major higher education constituencies, is an Africa-centred framework for advancing a transformative mode of research collaborations.
The 1st part of the workshop on Wednesday 6 November from 10:00-19:30 at the Fondation Universitaire (Rue d’Egmont 11, 1000 Brussels) will combine plenary sessions with small group discussions on the relevance and translation into practice of the Africa Charter’s 10 principles in the evolution of Africa-Europe research collaborations. It will conclude with a networking reception.
The 2nd part on Thursday 7 November from 09:00-14:00 at Norway House (Rue Archimède 17, 1000 Brussels) will explore the implications of the Charter’s 6 aspirations on change in higher education policy and regulatory architectures, for the further shaping of Africa-Europe R&I policy and funding, including within the AU-EU Innovation Agenda as well as in the EU framework programmes for R&I. It will conclude with a networking lunch.
The event will be relevant to university Rectors and Vice-Rectors, academics and staff, policymakers and funders, and the wider R&I community from both continents. The draft programme is available here and registration is open here. You can also find all this information on the event’s webpage.

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
