This is an exciting opportunity to see international partnerships in action! The Australia-Africa Universities Network (AAUN) is a consortium of Australian Universities, working with African partner universities to sustain research and education collaboration and leadership across areas of priority for Australia and Africa, and to marshal Australian and African expertise as an equal partnership to address challenges that both continents face. They have organized a 2 day forum that will bring together Australian and African researchers, policy-makers, officials and other interested parties to discuss areas of mutual interest and agree on corresponding action plans. The event is a great opportunity for local students to network with and hear from leading Australian & African experts in the following areas: • Food and Nutrition Security • Health: MCH/NCDs • Frontiers of Research (AusAID Development Research Awards Scheme Grants) They have requested assistance from The V Team to assist with running the forum and reception event.
