The PRE-LEAP-RE project prepares the groundwork for a European Joint Programme (EJP) focused on fostering long-term collaboration between the African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU) in the field of renewable energy (RE). This initiative aims to enhance cooperation and mutual understanding of the AU-EU ecosystem, promoting the empowerment of local research through joint Europe-Africa efforts. The project also focuses on transforming research into effective innovation, addressing specific societal needs while considering regional differences. Ultimately, PRE-LEAP-RE seeks to create the necessary conditions for sustainable development and energy transition across both continents.
