Research team
The RurbanAfrica consortium is a diverse and truly interdisciplinary group of institutions and researchers, all of which are needed for addressing the complexities of the RurbanAfrica research objectives. The selection of partners has been based on scientific merits, experiences with development advisory, and abilities to carry out international collaboration, and builds on already well-established academic networks between the African and European partners. The WP leaders and country coordinators have prior experience in international scientific endeavours. The partners complement each other both in terms of scientific and field-based experiences while at the same time there is sufficient overlap in approaches to facilitate the collaboration across work packages.
