Partners of CRC TRR 228 ‘Future Rural Africa‘

Lively Partnerships are Essential for the Collaborative Research Center

Reliable and lively partnerships are essential for our programme and cooperative research activities. The CRC will strengthen and expand the existing networks with institutions and individuals in Africa. To facilitate participation of African research partners in CRC events and scientific cooperation, the CRC applied for funding of travel expenses and daily allowances of partners and guests, especially from Africa. A number of collaborations with African universities and research institutions have already been established through MoUs or are in preparation. Through a regular exchange and invitation program, some African partners have been fully integrated in the joint programme. A major obstacle faced by faculty members of African universities is their heavy work load in teaching. The University of Bonn will therefore continue provide funds for African counterparts that will be used for temporal replacements, allowing them to devote their full time to the cooperation.
