Grow Green Africa Project (master & PhD grants)

Additionally, this project facilitates knowledge exchange by supporting the mobility of 15 staff members from five participating African institutions: National University of Science and Technology (NUST) in Zimbabwe, Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) in Namibia, Copperbelt University (CBU) in Zambia, Rhodes University (RU) in South Africa, and University of Eswatini (UNESWA) in Eswatini. The project’s technical lead is provided by the University of Turku (UTU), a European Union partner from Finland.

Our Thematic and Study Areas
