AUU International is committed to advancing and supporting Pan-African Research.

In 2023, AUU International convened a FinCrime Summit in collaboration with E-Four and AAF and Professor Ehi Eric Esoimeme.  In 2025 and beyond, our research will continue to build upon our existing strengths while nurturing areas of emerging strength. We will continue to develop new Pan-African research talent through allocation of postdoctoral fellowships to ensure a sustainable research workforce. We will also invest in areas of emerging strength through strategic allocation of Higher Degree Research (HDR) stipends and postdoctoral fellowships in support of strong research outcomes, with a specific focus on research that will impact the criminal justice system across Africa and the everyday lives of our regional communities and industries.
