Briefing paper: Building a bridge towards Africa and the Mediterranean Region (2021) Briefing paper: Building a bridge towards Africa and the Mediterranean Region (2021) ====================================================================================== - Global partnerships - Audiovisual materials - Report - Academics - Researchers - Administrators - Policy makers Building partnerships with African and Mediterranean universities outside Europe is an importantstrategic aim of CIVIS and one of its distinct features as a European University alliance (1). By 2022, the end of CIVIS’ “fabric phase”, our alliance seeks to win at least one partner institution in the target regions for each of its established thematic Hubs (2). This implies initiating some first joint pilot projects as well as to prepare and adopt longer-term strategic partnership agreements between CIVIS and partner universities. Building partnerships with African and Mediterranean universities outside Europe is an importantstrategic aim of CIVIS and one of its distinct features as a European University alliance (1). By 2022, the end of CIVIS’ “fabric phase”, our alliance seeks to win at least one partner institution in the target regions for each of its established thematic Hubs (2). This implies initiating some first joint pilot projects as well as to prepare and adopt longer-term strategic partnership agreements between CIVIS and partner universities (CIVIS 2018: 40-42). The briefing paper aims at introducing the CIVIS community to this sub-project of our alliance. After sketching the existing links of individual CIVIS universities to Africa and the Mediterranean area, it looks at the way a collective approach to partnership development may contribute to the profile of CIVIS and benefit potential partner institutions. Subsequently, the report outlines CIVIS’ approach to building these partnerships, including an overview of possible partner institutions, and the planned activities in the process ahead.
