Conferences

AfriquEurope will organise 12 Conferences – Thematic Events, each leading to a policy paper written.

Research will be carried out by 10 teams each with a specific focus relevant to the understanding, relevance and implications of
enhancing collaboration between the EU and Africa. The results will be presented accordingly to the 10 corresponding conferences.

The first conference will play the role of introducing and coordinating all partners and teams of the AfriquEurope project, while the final one (12th) will present at the end of the program the results at the European Union’s headquarters.
