ARUA/Guild Clusters of Research Excellence (CoRE)
The Africa-Europe Clusters of Research Excellence (CoRE) initiative was launched in 2023 by the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) and The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities. Research within CoRE is expected to contribute to the four priority areas of the EU-AU Innovation Agenda: public health, green transition, innovation & technology, and scientific capacity building.
The purpose of clusters is to promote equitable and sustainable scientific collaboration in areas of global societal challenges. By taking this initiative, ARUA and The Guild aim to highlight equity as an essential condition for research collaborations to address our global societal challenges. An important aspect of the new collaboration formats is that the responsibility for coordination of the clusters is shared between universities in Africa and the EU.
