Yebo! Project

The University of Pretoria and CIRAD, thanks to their long term collaboration with CEEPA and GovInn, is a partner of the Yebo! project on internationalization of doctoral studies in South Africa.

The ‘Yebo’ Erasmus+ project (http://yebo.edu.umontpellier.fr/) was launched in October 2017 and will end in November 2020. Seven South African and five European Universities compose the consortium. Montpellier University is the project leader.

The project aims to achieve:

• the improvement of the skills of south-African universities concerning the internationalization of PhD Studies;
• to facilitate the access to information concerning funding, mobility, and administrative procedures of PhD programs;
• the increase of PhD students and staff trained in the internationalization of the PhD studies;
• to promote the internationalization of PhD studies in South Africa and Europe.

Because of its strong experience and enduring partnership with South African Universities and higher education institutions, Cirad is part of the Yebo Experts Committee.
