CAAST-Net Plus strengthened cooperation in science and technology between Europe and Africa

To achieve its goal, CAAST-Net Plus aimed to:

• inform the bi-regional policy dialogue on science and technology
• build support for innovative and joint approaches to bilateral research funding
• broker the public-private relationship to improve the uptake of research for development
• encourage bi-regional research collaboration and partnerships

CAAST-Net Plus events brought together diverse actors and institutions from research and innovation environments in Africa and Europe to share their objectives, outcomes and learning. In this section we delivered all of this CAAST-Net Plus-ignited thinking.
