The theme of the conference, hosted by AEGIS and organized locally by AEGIS member institution Centre for International Studies - Lisbon (CEI-Iscte), is “African Prisms”.
The Czech Association for African Studies invites scholars, researchers, practitioners, and students to participate in the Viva Africa 2026 Conference, to be held in Prague on 5–6 November 2026.
Trust and Trust-Making in Africa’s Global Connections is the latest publication in the AEGIS-Brill Series.
