Developing the governance, networks, and strategic frameworks needed to build a lasting Africa–Europe partnership that extends beyond individual projects and funding cycles.
Supporting collaboration between African and European researchers, identifying future research priorities, and strengthening scientific excellence through knowledge sharing, capacity development, and access to research infrastructures.
Helping promising research results move beyond the laboratory through the LEAP Energy + Startup Studio, providing mentoring, business development support, and connections to investors and markets.
Bridging the gap between science and decision-making by supporting evidence-informed policies, science diplomacy, and stronger alignment between research, innovation, and energy strategies.
Building an inclusive ecosystem that brings together researchers, innovators, policymakers, funders, industry, and local communities, while promoting gender equality, participation, and societal impact.
Together, these five pillars create the conditions for stronger cooperation, greater innovation uptake, and lasting impact across Africa and Europe.
