Romania and the African Union have launched an academic cooperation program offering up to 1,709 scholarships for African students starting in the 2027-2028 academic year. This initiative, announced by Dacian Cioloș, aims to enhance educational opportunities in key fields such as science, technology, agriculture, and medicine. The program is a result of collaboration between the Romanian National Council of Rectors and the African Union Commission, following discussions earlier this year. Scholarships will be funded by participating universities, and candidate selection will involve both the African Union and Romanian institutions to ensure balanced representation and gender equality. This initiative aligns with Romania's national strategy to strengthen ties with African nations.
