Webinar on Funding Opportunities for Collaboration with Africa

The main objective of the event is to share information on Africa-focused funding mechanisms and current opportunities from a variety of sources. The target groups for this event are faculty and staff of Finnish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

The organizers of the webinar are the four MEC-supported Global South networks focusing on Africa; EDUCase Network, FAPI, GINTL Africa, and SAFINET. These thematic networks aim to facilitate joint research, education, and innovation collaboration between Finnish HEIs and African partners. The networks seek mutual and long-term partnerships that foster sustainable impact.
