Long-Term Joint Research and Innovation Partnership on Renewable Energy

LEAP-RE is based on the preparing for a Long-Term Joint EU-AU Research and Innovation Partnership on Renewable Energy (PRE-LEAP-RE) project. This preparatory work enabled the formulation of  a Research & Innovation (R&I) and Human and Institutional Capacity Building agenda on Renewable Energy (RE). It has also established the organisational and funding principles for the implementation of an African and European (AU-EU) Joint Programme by bringing together national funding agencies and other key EU-AU actors involved in RE research.  PRE-LEAP-RE was thus the preparatory step toward LEAP-RE, which will be implementing the formulated AU-EU Joint Programme.
