With the Maria Sibylla Merian Institute for Advanced Studies in Africa (MIASA) and the Africa Centre for Transregional Research (ACT), the ABI has launched two central projects at the University of Freiburg.
The Maria Sibylla Merian Institute for Advanced Studies in Africa (MIASA) is an international research center at the University of Ghana in Legon, Accra. MIASA is committed to reducing global asymmetries in the production of knowledge and aims to facilitate stronger cooperation among and between researchers in both Anglo- and Francophone Africa. The central goal of MIASA is to enhance the visibility of scientific research conducted by researchers from Sub-Saharan Africa who are working in the Social Sciences and Humanities.
