R&I cooperation with Sub-Saharan Africa (CSA)
- Foster cooperation and prepare ground for joint research and innovation and raise greater awareness of R&I cooperation opportunities between the EU and sub-Saharan Africa.
- Organize networks, conferences, workshops and other actions that support R&I activities and monitor digital-relevant activities in sub-Saharan Africa.
- Collect and analyse information as well conduct surveys and draft reports and position papers on sub-Saharan African countries’ R&I policies, strategies and programmes.
- Link EU and African internet R&I communities, building on the work of existing projects such as the African-European Digital Innovation Bridge (AEDIB) and the FPI project “Open Internet in Africa”.
- The action should ensure that relevant stakeholders from both the EU and African countries are engaged during the process through regional and international workshops and a set of communication and dissemination actions.
