The Horizon Europe Africa Initiative IV Workshop, organized by EURAXESS Africa in collaboration with the Africa-Europe Innovation Platform, brought together researchers, research managers, innovators and institutional representatives from across Africa, Europe and beyond.

Participants explored funding and collaboration opportunities under the Horizon Europe 2026โ€“2027 Work Programme, with a focus on building stronger and more competitive Africa-Europe research partnerships.

Why does this matter?
Africa Initiative IV creates concrete pathways for African and European researchers to develop joint projects around shared priorities, from and climate action to innovation, technology and scientific capacity building.

Special thanks to our speakers and facilitators:
โœ… Mr Stephan Kreutzer for introducing the Africa Europe Innovation Platform
โœ… Dr May Bakr for presenting EURAXESS Africa services and support
โœ… Dr Ahmed Maalel and Ms Asuka Heltmann for leading the hands-on workshop on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, Horizon Europe proposal preparation, consortium building, international collaboration, and strategies to improve funding success

The dynamic Q&A and high level of engagement reflected the growing momentum for Africa-Europe research and innovation cooperation.

As AI tools become increasingly common in research, from literature reviews and drafting to translation, coding and data analysis, responsible use is more important than ever.

The European Commission has published an updated version of the ERA Living Guidelines on the responsible use of Generative AI in research, offering practical guidance for researchers, institutions and funders.

The updated guidelines focus on key research integrity principles, including:
โœ… Transparency
โœ… Accountability
โœ… Responsibility
โœ… Research integrity
โœ… Awareness of risks such as hidden prompts and third-party AI tools

For researchers and institutions across Africa, this is a valuable resource for strengthening responsible AI practices in research, proposal preparation, collaboration and publication.
