OeAD | Africa-UniNet 7th Call
Africa-UniNet aims to facilitate and strengthen existing and new inter- and transdisciplinary research cooperation between Austria and African countries. Africa-UniNet promotes excellent research based on the mutual exchange of knowledge. This call is only open to internal academy researchers, as the cooperative research projects will run through the institution.
Due to new regulations set by the BMFWF, only Austrian member institutions are eligible to submit and coordinate a project. However, as in previous years, project consortia must consist of at least one Austrian and at least one African member institution. Therefore, African member institutions are eligible as project partners. All participating institutions must be active Africa-UniNet members, i.e. they must have paid the membership fee 2026.
The 7th call will open on 1 September 2026 and close on 30 November 2026, 13 h.
