7th Call for Africa-UniNet Research Cooperation Projects
Einreichfrist: 30. November 2026
Africa-UniNet promotes excellent research based on
mutual knowledge exchange. While the thematic scope of the cooperative research 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.
The matchmaking platform is already
online to help researchers find partners for joint project proposals: Matchmaking
