Research & Training

The doctoral programme offers a combination of foundational and specialized training modules across universities in Angola and Germany.

Key features include

• interdisciplinary PhD projects focusing on African food systems.
• problem-oriented research linking science, society, and policy.
• methodological training and scientific communication skills.
• international supervision teams (tridems) to ensure research quality.

The project connects closely with related Kassel-based initiatives such as Pro-RUWA(African Excellence Centre - DAAD) and the Sustainable Rurbanity (research group - DFG), creating synergies for joint research and training.
