What is eI4Africa?

eI4Africa was a FP7 project funded by the European Commission (DG CONNECT) with the aim of boosting the Research, Technological Development and Innovation (RTDI) potential of African e-Infrastructures and to support policy dialogues and Euro-African cooperation in the framework of the joint Africa-EU Strategic Partnership. The project ended in October 2014.
