Dear colleagues,

With the aim of supporting higher education in Africa, the European Union has launched the Erasmus+ program for which a presentation will take place in Abidjan on June 26-28, 2024

Then two important problems in the academic world will be addressed, namely on the one hand the third mission of universities which covers relations with civil society, and on the other hand the growth in the energy consumption of information technology and the resulting pollution which will soon be of the order of magnitude of aeronautics. Finally, USF provides access to its columns for academics to freely express their views on the academic situation in Gaza.

Wishing you a good read.

Prof. Robert Laurini, Editor of the USF-AWB Newsletter.
