The African-German Doctoral Summer School on Global Sustainability and Fair Research Partnerships aims to strengthen development-oriented academic cooperation in Germany by promoting fair, sustainability-focused collaboration between African and German doctoral students. The project raises awareness among early-stage researchers about global inequalities in knowledge production, power asymmetries in North–South research partnerships, and Germany’s responsibility for fair and sustainable international cooperation.
Through global learning, intercultural dialogue, and collaborative project development, participants acquire skills in equitable partnership design, sustainability-oriented research practices, and engagement in development policy. Beyond strengthening individual capacity, the project seeks to create multiplier effects within German higher education and civil society. A public dialogue event will engage a broad audience on issues of climate justice, global responsibility, and fair research partnerships, while open-access outputs — including a policy brief and partnership guidelines — will contribute to the development policy debate in Germany.
Overall, the program promotes critical global learning, responsible international cooperation, and sustainable academic partnerships, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDGs 4, 10, 13, and 17
