Enhancing Europe-Africa university partnership: A contribution to development cooperation
Dissemination conference of the ‘Access to Success' project
The final policy and dissemination conference of the Access to Success project will take place in Brussels, Belgium, on 28 September, 2010.
The objective of the event will be to disseminate the project outcomes and recommendations to the political community in Brussels and to multi-lateral donors. A white paper of recommendations on European cooperation and coordination in capacity building with African universities will be presented and discussed. Most of the topics addressed in the White Paper are probably valid for cooperation with most emerging countries in higher education. However, given the project's focus, they deal specifically with capacity building in African universities, Africa-Europe university collaboration and the Africa-EU strategic partnership.
The recommendations are timely, given the upcoming Africa-EU Summit and the various initiatives launched in the framework of the Africa-EU strategic partnership. They illustrate how a bi-regional stakeholder contribution to such a political process can actually take shape.
A stakeholder meeting will be held the day prior to the event, gathering key contributors to the project, and a an information session on European Union external cooperation programmes will be held.
