In order to create appropriate strategies for Africa, UNU-ViE offers its academic expertise in several consultation processes with multilateral and national entities from the field of research and Science and Technology, such as the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), G8, and African Ministerial Conference on Science & Technology (AMCOST).
Supporting the integration of science, technology and higher education into national science policies is the priority of the Vice Rectorate of the United Nations University in Europe (UNU-ViE) as well as advancing these themes as a driver for the socio-economic development in Sub-Sahara Africa.
