First LAM-ARENA Seminar(9th-10th January 2016)

First LAM-ARENA Seminar

Different Persepectives on Africa in Globalization

9th-10th January 2016

 Alliance for Research on North Africa, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Tsukuba, Japan

 

Project rationale and objectives

The crossed analysis of the fields of intervention of both structures (ARENA and LAM) leads to think that a fruitful collaboration can be led by taking advantage of specificities of each center. Indeed, the approach of LAM concerns the whole continent but does not understand the experimental sciences (except limited projects). The ARENA limits itself in North Africa but with a wider scientific field associating the experimental sciences with human and social sciences. It is interesting being able to lead exchanges to develop the practices of the researchers towards an interdisciplinary collaboration widened to being able to lead projects of bigger scale. Besides, a project of such nature can, because of its frame of international functioning lead to the emergence of new practices which would not have been able to be born in a purely national frame.
