EU News: €39 million for “Better Health for Africa” under the EU-African Union Scientific Partnership

30 July

The European Commission launched a specific call for proposals dedicated to research for Africa, addressing commitments made under the 2007 joint EU-Africa Strategy. Supported research activities will support African projects and partners in 2010, with the aim of strengthening Africa's research base. Of the total budget of €63 million, the major share of €39 million is earmarked for health-related projects. A specific focus under the heading "Better Health for Africa" will be on improving maternal and newborn health. On September 18, EU Commissioner Potočnik and a representative from the African Union will hold an Information Day on the so-called "Africa call" in Brussels. More information can be found here:
