Members of the European Parliament promote science cooperation between Europe and Africa

Members of the European Parliament call upon their colleagues to support scientific partnerships between Europe and Africa. European involvement in African science and especially in current radio astronomy projects presents a unique opportunity to bridge the traditional divide between developed and developing economies and contribute to attaining the Millennium Development Goals. The Written Declaration on Science Capacity Building in Africa: promoting European African radio astronomy partnerships is open for signatures until February 16, 2012.
