Africa
The RCF has long supported cooperation between Finnish and African researchers by participating in the funding of ERA-NET calls in the EU and between European and African countries (e.g. LEAP-Agri and LEAP-RE). No new calls are currently being prepares, and we encourage Finnish researchers to participate in open calls under the EU Framework Programme that prioritise cooperation with African countries. Such calls are found under Pillar 2 clusters.
Cooperation with African countries has also been supported with joint funding by the RCF and the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The DEVELOP2 programme is currently underway.
