Cluster Workshops

In February 2014, a cluster workshop on the cross-cutting theme “space” of the Priority Programme in Bonn prepared the ground for a follow-up workshop and finally the elaboration of a joint book publication.

Summer schools

Three summer schools will be held in Germany and another three summer schools will be held in Africa, back-to-back with the thematic conferences in Maputo, Bamako and Addis Ababa.
