WELCOME TO THE HOMEPAGE OF
African Studies Rhine-Main!
Find out more about the activities of researchers working in Africa at Goethe University Frankfurt, the University Mainz and the TU Darmstadt.
In December 2015, the three universities of the Rhine-Main area founded a university alliance. The page africanstudies-rheinmain.de is part of it. The initiative aims at connecting the research on Africa at all three locations, coordinating the spectrum of research and developing new collaborative research projects.
On these pages, you will find more information on the institutions participating in African Research Rhine-Main, on the research projects as well as on current events, lectures and partners in Africa.
