The presentation introduced the project’s vision of strengthening digital research collaboration between Africa and Europe through the development of a sustainable digital research infrastructure. It presented DIGITAfrica’s objectives and mission, highlighting its contribution to research capacity development, community building, digital innovation, and the creation of a lasting impact on Africa–Europe research collaboration.

The conference offered an excellent opportunity to engage with researchers, technology experts, and industry stakeholders, increasing the visibility of the project and fostering new opportunities for collaboration.
