Europe-Africa:
Perspectives for Cooperation
Friday, September 4th 2026
at 6:00 PM
Seidengasse 28 im Hof 1. Stiege, 1070 Vienna
On 3 June 2026, the Austrian Government formally approved
the Austrian-Africa Strategy 2026–2029, subsequently endorsed by the Parliament
on 6 July. How can these policies turn into actions? In this exchange session, we
take a closer look at the four priority areas and their implementation:
Stability, security and resilience - Economic cooperation - Migration and
mobility - Education and science, cultural cooperation and environmental
protection.
Together with institutional actors, the business community,
artists, the diaspora, and civil society, we will explore how these policies
can be put into practice during an evening of insightful discussions,
art music, and African cuisine.
