The EuroAfriCa-ICT project, coordinated by Sigma Orionis, held a successful 6th information and exchange meeting in Brussels (Belgium) yesterday. Gathering over 50 participants from 13 different countries in Europe and sub-Saharan Africa, this meeting is one of a series of meetings addressing S&T Cooperation on ICT between sub-Saharan Africa and Europe. Chaired by Karine Valin (Managing Director of Sigma Orionis and EuroAfriCa-ICT Project Coordinator) the meeting welcomed representatives from three European Commission Directorates-General: Development (DG DEV), Research (DG RTD) and Information Society and Media (DG INFSO) who introduced the recent developments on the relations between Europe and Africa with regard to ICT research. A specific session was also devoted to the implementation of the EU-AU Partnership on Science, ICT and Space that was adopted in December 2007 during the Lisbon 2nd EU-AU Summit. Case examples of existing cooperation projects in the field of ICT research were also introduced during this one-day meeting that eventually convened time for round-table discussions with the main objective to bring support to emerging cooperation projects in the perspective of FP7/ICT Call 4.
