Background and objectives
CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance connects 11 research-oriented member universities in Europe, which jointly design educational offers, foster mobility of staff and students, and promote a socially engaged academy. As shown with the CIVIS Research & Innovation Strategy (RIS4CIVIS, 2020-23), CIVIS also seeks to support joint research among its member institutions.
In 2022, CIVIS and six leading universities in Africa entered a strategic partnership for contributing to closer African-European science collaboration across all academic missions.
The aim of this Call for Applications is to encourage innovative research as well as to initiate or widen, longer-term collaboration between CIVIS member institutions in Europe and strategic partner universities in Africa.
