Join the thematic meetings to discuss the cooperation in your interest areas
FAPI aims to create sustainable partnerships in research, education, as well as in co-creative innovation projects between Finnish and African universities and higher education institutions as well as other actors. The network’s aim is to develop activities, events, publications, projects, funding applications and more together. The thematic discussions could facilitate the preparation of the creation of these concrete actions created together. Therefore, the FAPI network will offer the possibility for the members and their co-operators for discussions in smaller groups connected to thematic subject areas.
Therefore, in November (or end of October), FAPI aims to organise the first three thematic meetings to discuss the cooperation in those areas particularly.
In order to check the interest and availability of the members, there are now Doodle links open (until October 15th). If you are interested in one of the topics, please choose the times suitable for you.
