University Joseph Ki-Zerbo of Ouagadougou

The "Africa Multiple Research Center" (AMRC) of University Joseph KI-ZERBO of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso was created in the framework of the “Africa Multiple – Cluster of Excellence” initiated by the University of Bayreuth in 2019. The AMRC aims at coordinating research projects of its members from different African research institutions and facilitating the movement of researchers from West African countries within the scope of their missions in the Center. Developing a solid and reliable database is also part of its objectives. Hence, it will be linked to the Knowledge Lab of African Multiple and as such, will be interconnected to the database network of other centers and thus promote the co-construction of a digital research environment.
