New Project: Network for Regional Integration Studies (NETRIS)
2 March, 2009
EDULINK, the Africa Caribbean Pacific - European Union (ACP-EU) cooperation programme in Higher Education is funding the 'Network for Regional Integration Studies' (NETRIS), a project introduced by the College of Europe and UNU-CRIS along with partner institutions. The project aims to establish and coordinate a network of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) working within the field of (comparative) regional integration.
The partner institutions of the network come from the six ACP-EU sub-regions and represent leading institutes in the different regions:
- Addis Ababa University (AAU) (Ethiopia),
- Université Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD) (Senegal),
- Université de Yaoundé II (IRICUY) (Cameroun),
- University of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania),
- University of South Pacific (USP) (Fiji) and
- University of West Indies (UWI) (Trinidad and Tobago).
The associates include:
- European Centre for Development Policy Management
(ECDPM) and;
- Southern Africa Political Economy Series
(SAPES) Trust.
The objective of the network is to strengthen the research and training capacities of the partners in the field of regional integration studies, to stimulate mutual learning, shared practices and collective dissemination and encourage policy relevant research. This will be achieved through: (i) delivering lectures on regional integration and related issues; (ii) facilitate exchanges between researchers through a mobility scheme; (iii) facilitating the introduction of joint research or teaching programmes on regional integration in HEIs in the ACP; (iv) activities to strengthen the integration of ACP researchers in international research networks through better research dissemination and (v) strengthen the dialogue between researchers and policy makers in ACP countries.
