About the Project
The Centre for the Study of Governance Innovation (GovInn) and the European Studies Association of Sub-Saharan Africa (ESA-SSA) in the University of Pretoria, South Africa, and the Institute of African Studies Carleton University, Canada, are pleased to announce AURORA. This project seeks to explore ways to increase diversity within the field of European Studies through a series of events, research collaborations and publications.

- Draw comparative lessons and parallels from Africa Union and European Union.
- Consolidate international networks to add value and provide comparative knowledge on free trade areas, especially from the EU
- Introduce local students to the African Union, European Union and increase the level of their engagement in African Union, European Union and regionalism issues to ensure continuity into the future.
