Public consultation: online survey on the joint AU-EU Innovation Agenda

Strengthening Research and Innovation (R&I) cooperation between the African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU) is a joint key priority. The first R&I Ministerial Meeting of the AU-EU High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) on Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), held in July 2020, agreed to focus R&I cooperation efforts in four thematic areas: Public Health, Green transition, Innovation & Technology, and Capacities for Science. It was agreed to start developing a joint AU-EU Innovation Agenda aiming to create tangible impact on the ground, moving joint research investments from theory to practice.

The aim of the online public consultation is to seek input and feedback from citizens on the objectives and proposed actions of the Innovation Agenda, being open to suggestions and ideas on additional work streams. The public consultation will remain open until 13 May 2022. Its outcome will be summarised and communicated in a dedicated report, foreseen to be published in the second half of 2022.
