The University of Hohenheim (UHOH) has broad expertise in Africa research. The Africa Research Network Meeting has brought together the various actors working on Africa-related projects at Hohenheim - whether focusing on agriculture, social sciences, or economics. This was an important opportunity to strengthen cooperation and networking within the university.
