Innovation for African Universities (IAU) call for network partnerships
The British Council has launched the Innovation for African Universities (IAU) programme aimed at strengthening the capacity of Universities to participate and provide meaningful contributions as key players within the entrepreneurship ecosystem in their respective regions.
The programme will be delivered by a Centre of Excellence consisting of tripartite partners – University of Nairobi, City University of London and Change School London.
We are inviting Universities from the UK, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa to apply as Network partners to improve their understanding of the roles of universities in entrepreneurship ecosystems as part of a community of practice.
Funding of up to £60,000 is available to support each mutually beneficial partnership to respond to an identified problem.
