AFRAN organises annual forums to develop active discussions and fruitful exchanges within the AFRAN community, and with invited speakers and guests. A wide range of topics are addressed from many fields of research and innovation (e.g. energy, environment, space, health and medical science, engineering). The AFRAN forum is a major event where new opportunities and potential for cooperation are identified. It is also a platform fostering reinforced linkages with the Pacific region.
