 Africa and Europe are interconnected just the way the global community is. That we have similar challenges, similar opportunities and there's a very strong sense of commitment to charting a new future for the partnership so that the two continents in a very sustainable manner can move the agenda through the centres of excellence that we want to establish. So the take-home again is that we have worked over the last few months as deputy vice-chancellors, vice-presidents to prepare the work for what direct the presidents and also the vice-chancellors are addressing today, approving today. So my other take-home is that the work has just started so we've agreed on a few classes that we want to take forward but really the hard work is whether we can deliver over the ten year period that we are envisioning this cooperation. Well I could see the motivation and enthusiasm of the Guild and the Aruba universities today to launch radically new initiatives that could become a game changer in the cooperation between the two continents on research and innovation. And with these centres of excellence we have the opportunity to address together challenges of high complexity that are of relevance for all of us. Now the next steps will be to work to design effective and share the governance models and to set up credible and measurable certificate plans as well as to ensure the commitment of the institutions also in terms of fundraising. The partnership between Europe and Africa is new so we have the Erasmus Plus, we have got Horizon that have set a very good foundation. So we want to build on that in a very sustainable manner by creating centres of excellence that can permeate wider communities involving the private sector, governments, universities, research institutions. So this coordinated mechanism will then in terms of bringing in capacity building for PhD, doctoral training, for example building infrastructure I think is a new. And so for us we see this as a new dawn that we are bringing elements that we are not there before in a very coordinated manner where there is partnership between the research intensive universities in Africa and Aruba and the research intensive universities in Europe under the Guild. So we are taking this partnership to the next level. Well to move towards meeting the sustainable development goals I think that we have to accelerate the transition of Africa towards the development model that is based on knowledge, research and innovation. And so we need novel approaches to scientific and academic cooperation based on sustainability, on capacity building and on scalability. In other words we need to set up new real cooperation between Europe and Africa on science and technology that will enable us to strengthen the long term cooperation between the institutions to favor the circulation of talents, the emergence of excellence researchers and of course also setting up centers of excellence jointly between the two continents.
