The gigantic global scientific efforts to develop a vaccine to mitigate the devastating impact of COVID-19 on societies have reached a point where the mass production and use of effective vaccines are a reality.
The African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) and The Guild of European Research- Intensive Universities (The Guild) jointly request investing €1bn per annum in African research universities by the African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU) as part of the renewed Africa-EU partnership.
Africa and Europe have a unique opportunity to develop their relationship in new, strategic ways, through collaboration on common global challenges that delivers on the key objectives of the African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU).
