CORDIS Results Pack on Africa-EU collaboration

The IAM COMPACT project contributed to the European Commission's CORDIS Results Pack on Africa-EU collaboration, "Advancing the Africa-EU climate change and sustainable energy partnership", with its brief on "Collaborative modelling for new climate commitments". 

The thematic collection of innovative EU-funded research results highlights 14 projects funded under the EU’s Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe research programmes - real-world examples of the Africa–EU partnership in action that support the African Union (AU)-EU Innovation Agenda and the Global approach to research and innovation. It highlights how joint R&I initiatives are supporting climate services, early warning systems, clean energy access, and adaptation planning, all while empowering local communities to become agents of change.

The brief documents a core component of the IAM COMPACT project, our Policy Response Mechanism (PRM), a valuable tool at the science-policy interface, a co-creation process that has facilitated not only our internal exchanges, but also our collaboration with external stakeholders. It also investigates how the PRM enabled a series of exchanges with different groups of external actors in our pilot countries, including not only policy advice and modelling priorities but also training of new experts through workshops and capacity development activities. 

The project brief, authored by Solomon Tesfamariam Teferi, Fitsum Salehu (AAiT), Camilla Lo Guidice, Chamindie Senaratne, Francesco Gardumi (KTH), Ioannis Tsipouridis (TUM), Conall Heussaff (Bruegel), Natasha Frilingou and Alexandros Nikas (NTUA) can be found below (and is also available on our policy briefs webpage).
