About the event
The research collaboration with South Africa has a long history, with four bilateral research programs since 2002. The SANOCEAN programme started in 2019 with a clear focus on the ocean, an area of focus that is prioritized by both countries. It has supported 10 collaborative projects and has now come to an end.
