OeAD | Africa-UniNet 4th Call
With Africa-UniNet an instrument has been created to enable and strengthen existing and new interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research cooperation between Austria and African countries. Africa-UniNet promotes excellent research based on mutual knowledge exchange. This call is only open to in-house researchers, as the joint research projects will run through the institution.
While the thematic scope of the projects is not restricted, they set out to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the same time they enhance the scientific foundation of the involved institutions and reinforce the formation of the network itself by promoting new partnerships between Austrian and African universities and research institutions and by strengthening existing ties.
Only active members of Africa-UniNet are eligible to participate. Please refer to the Contact List of Africa-UniNet Representatives for the 4th Call 2023. Further information on the respective member institutions can be found in the member section of the website.
