 The idea that we've come up with as investments in clusters of excellence can be a key component in strengthening intra-African research collaboration. And if we want to leverage then the cross-regional perspective, well then we've got to connect these nodes of excellence in the work program that tries to reflect on the local experience and how it differs and then to generalize from that. But you do need research centers to get this thing going that are established and research institutions that the university know how to deal with big collective research projects. That is important for us to focus on longer-term investments across systems, infrastructure, human capital, but also looking at in the long run building the necessary partnerships for transfer and sharing of technology early enough across universities in Africa or with Europe, with the private sector. And then I'm happy to see that the EU and the African Union aim at more equal, more long-term, strategic partnership. I think that's absolutely necessary. We need to move away from relying on short-term projects-based funding. Instead, we need to move towards an enhanced institutional capacity for excellent research and innovation through long-term collaboration, also institutional collaboration. And I think that the proposed Gilda Rua clusters of excellence is one part of the answer which will strengthen African research and innovation and help building this type of collaboration.
