The Launching of the New Uppsala University's Forum for Africa Studies, as an interdisciplinary research centre to engage higher education and research collaborations in and with African universities and research institutes.
Since January 2023, Uppsala University’s Forum for Africa Studies has a new, broader mandate to work with all faculties to increase and strengthen higher education and research activities and collaborations in, and with Africa. The Forum will seek to facilitate coordinate and provide encounters for the manifold of initiatives opportunities and commitments underway or to be developed. The New Uppsala University’s Forum for Africa Studies is part of Vice Chancellor’s Africa Initiative. The launching will offer a whole day of inspiring presentations of the African Initiative of the Forum, and of young scholars, followed by a round table on how to engage and collaborate with African universities research institutes. The day will end with a key note address on Critical African Studies.
