We are pleased to announce that in September 2021, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the Jagiellonian Research Center for African Studies and the African Research Institute, Óbuda University (Óbudai Egyetem) in Budapest (Hungary). The agreement is aimed at cooperation in the field of academic research conducted by both units, as well as in regard to international exchange programs implemented by the Jagiellonian University and Óbuda University as part of their educational agenda (e.g. through promotion and experience sharing). The signed agreement also enables short- and long-term exchange of faculty members and non-academic staff as part of the bilateral exchange.
