Science Hubs for Advanced Research & Education with Africa
Empowering Italo-African academic cooperation through innovation, education, and research.
About the Project
The SHARE_AFRICA project stems from the vision of promoting internationalisation in line with the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) and the EU’s strategy on science diplomacy. It is coordinated by the Italian Higher Education with Africa Foundation (IHEA Foundation), leveraging its experience since 2020.
Origin & Scope
Drawing on successful initiatives such as a Specialising Master in Ethiopia (60 ECTS) and five intensive advanced courses in Ethiopia and Tunisia, the project builds on a solid foundation of collaboration with more than 130 young African academics.
Targeting Early Career Academicians, SHARE_AFRICA focuses on fostering long-term impact by training future Italo-African Education and Research Ambassadors, with focal hubs in Tunisia and Ethiopia, covering the MENA Region and the Horn of Africa.
Our Vision
To foster the creation of Italo-African Science Hubs, supporting long-term cooperation between African and Italian academic systems and generating policy recommendations that elevate science diplomacy in Italy-Africa relations.
