Name: Knowledge for Tomorrow - Cooperative Research Projects in Sub-Saharan Africa
Initiating organisation
Volkswagen Foundation
Description: The Foundation's funding initiative 'Knowledge for Tomorrow. Cooperative Research Projects in Sub-Saharan Africa' aims at providing a contribution to the development and sustainable reinforcement of research in sub-Saharan Africa. This is to be achieved via research projects developed and carried out by African scholars and scientists in cooperation with German partners, providing junior scientists in Africa with an opportunity to enhance their skills and academic qualification. Besides this Afro-German cooperation, a special focus will be on the development, reinforcement and extension of academic networks inside Africa.

Funding will be available for projects across all disciplines, i.e. the natural and engineering sciences, medicine as well as the humanities and social sciences.
