University College Dublin launches Africa strategy

Global engagement to focus on African scholars, co-authors and university partnerships

University College Dublin has launched a strategy establishing Africa as a “priority region”, committing the university to deepening its research, scholarship and innovation engagement with the continent.

Outlined in the UCD Africa Engagement Strategy 2023-2028, this ambition will be achieved through the development of relationships with African scholars and institutions, the university said. The strategy will also seek to deepen existing partnerships between UCD and African research and higher education institutions.
