PanAfGeo+ contributed to the 30th Colloquium of African Geology through the organisation of a dedicated workshop titled “Building a Geoscience Africa Expert Network.”
The workshop brought together geoscience experts from across Africa and Europe, creating a platform for open dialogue and meaningful exchange. Moving beyond traditional presentations, the session encouraged interactive discussions and collaboration among participants.
Discussions focused on the role of geoscience in addressing key societal challenges, including:
- mineral resources and infrastructure
- environmental management
- geotourism
- food security
Participants also explored stakeholder needs, identified research gaps, and highlighted opportunities to strengthen collaboration, inclusion, and engagement across institutions.
The workshop resulted in a shared vision for the development of a collaborative Geoscience Africa Expert Network, contributing to stronger Africa–Europe partnerships under the PanAfGeo+ framework.
As part of the communication outputs, visual materials and a video highlight were produced and disseminated through PanAfGeo+ channels, further extending the reach and impact of the initiative.
