AEGIS

The Africa-Europe Group for Interdisciplinary Studies (AEGIS) is a research network of European studies centres which aims to create synergies between experts and institutions. Founded in 1991 with primary emphasis on Social Sciences and Humanities, AEGIS organises the ECAS conferences. The BAB became the first representative of AEGIS in Switzerland in the late 1990s, a role now fullfilled by the Centre for African Studies (CASB) at the University of Basel.
