Researchers’ dialogue: Unlocking Africa-Europe-Gulf relations

Policy and research circles are increasingly interested in Gulf monarchies’ expanding footprint in Africa, though the challenges and opportunities of the deepening Gulf-Africa relations for global geopolitics are yet to be fully understood.

Building on the findings and ideas of the recent policy brief, Beyond competition: How Europe can harness the UAE’s energy ambitions in Africa, this closed-door, small-group virtual gathering aims to facilitate a focused exchange of ideas among experts working at the intersection of Africa, Europe and the Gulf. Moreover, the event serves as a platform for brainstorming policy recommendations that could shape policy across these regions and potentially unlock shared opportunities.
