Europe-Africa Perspectives for Cooperation
About this Event
On 3 June 2026, the Austrian Government formally approved the Austrian- Africa Strategy 2026–2029, subsequently endorsed by Parliament on 6 July. How can these policies turn into actions?
In this exchange session, we take a closer look at the four priority areas and their implementation:
- Stability, security and resilience
- Economic cooperation
- Migration and mobility
- Education and science, cultural cooperation and environmental protection
Together with institutional actors, the business community, artists, the diaspora, and civil society, we will explore how these policies can be put into practice during an evening of insightful discussions, art, music, and African cuisine.
