Hence, APEDIA focuses on the collaboration between researchers from Africa and Europe. In addition, APEDIA wishes to involve politicians, decision makers, stakeholders, development agencies and the private sector in order to put into practice the developed ideas. GoalsThe main focus of the network is placed on multidisciplinary approach to land use and development questions focusing on the innovative solutions to the existing problems. MissionAPEDIA sees its prior mission in building higher educational capacities for sustainable land use, environment and development.
