Academic Partnership for Environment and Development Innovations in Africa (APEDIA) is an international network launched in 2009 in order to stimulate academic collaboration and research in the field of environmental development and sustainable land use in Africa.Visions
Many conflicts in Africa break out as a cause of contrary interests related to land use. We are convinced that sustainable land use is an essential precondition for a peaceful living together. Hence, APEDIA focuses on the collaboration between researchers from Africa and Europe. In addition, APEDIA wishes to involve politicians, decision makers, stakeholders, development agencies and the private sector in order to put into practice the developed ideas.

Goals
The main focus of the network is placed on multidisciplinary approach to land use and development questions focusing on the innovative solutions to the existing problems.

Mission
APEDIA sees its prior mission in building higher educational capacities for sustainable land use, environment and development. The network unites educational partner institutions from Europe and Africa working and researching on different disciplines regarding the question of land use in Africa.

Funding
The APEDIA-network is generously funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) which is the largest funding organisation in the world supporting the international exchange of students and scholars.

Researchers and masters students in the fields of law, political science, geography, agriculture, environment and sociology are encouraged to join the network.Activities for APEDIA involves staff and student exchanges between the partner institutions, joint research and professional training programmes, workshops and summer schools.
