With almost 150 proposals received, the 4th Call for Tandem projects launched by ESA in cooperation with the African Union Commission (AUC) and coordinated by the EO Africa R&D Facility demonstrated the high interest in scientific collaboration between Africa and Europe. The call aimed to leverage Earth observation to tackle present and future challenges in water and food security for Africa: more information about it can be found here.
The 10 selected projects will run for 15 months from September 2025 and will get free access to cloud-based Virtual Research Environments through the Innovation Lab of the Facility, dedicated user and technical support, access to EO AFRICA Space Academy events, and integration into the EO AFRICA Network for international scientific collaboration. Research data and codes produced by the projects are expected to be openly published on the dedicated Research Projects Outputs page, which collects already results from the previous calls
