Science for development and EU-Africa advanced training partnerships: the case of TropiKMan PhD programme
Abstract
84 words
Science for development is the goal of many EU-Africa advanced training partnerships
but few promote North-South-South relations and attempt to bridge science and
management as explicitly as the new PhD programme described here. The Tropikman
PhD program leverages the tropical knowledge accumulated in Portuguese-speaking
countries and their areas of regional integration to strengthen training in this area. By
training highly qualified PhD professionals in two Lisbon and four African universities,
the Tropikman programme aims to link research and business networks in a multicultural
environment.
