ARUA at Science | Business Roundtable Discussion

29th April 2022

Secretary-General of the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA), Prof. Ernest Aryeetey has advocated “a situation where global researchers will feel at home in Africa because they can do the same type of research that they would have done in Europe.”

He said that, often, African researchers move to Europe for a PhD or a post-doc, and then return to Africa unable to find a similar type of work environment.

Prof. Aryeetey was speaking as a featured guest at the Science|Business hybrid roundtable discussion held at Brussels on March 29, 2022.  The discussions focused on how to strengthen the EU-AU strategy for research and innovation.
