Abstract

CEAUP (https://www.africanos.eu/index.php/en/) is an interdisciplinary R&D Unit focused on the areas of History, Anthropology and Political Science for the study of modern African societies. It has had the status of NGDO since 2007 and in the area of applied research it manages the Sinergias de Educação para o Desenvolvimento program, co-financed with the Camões Institute. CEAUP intends to continue developing research and cooperation programs in conjunction with African universities and research centers (10 new cooperation protocols signed in the last five years). For the years 2024-29, CEAUP's plan for basic research is based on the work carried out by its working groups in the previous five-year period and plans to expand the scale of activities around three main strategic axes: A) the construction of digital archives for African historical sources; B) the creation of observatories for regional and thematic African themes; C) the renewal of archaeological field investigation in the regional areas of West and Central Africa and the corresponding cartographic update.
