The Network for Education and Research Quality (NERQ) has been partnered with Pan-African Institute of Research and Innovation (PIRI) since 2021. In the direction of Research Ethics & Integrity, PIRI has engaged in several collaborative projects with NERQ and exchange valuable insights and experiences between Africa and Europe.

After exchanging progress in the conference, NERQ and PIRI are actively cooperating in a project this year: AFREIntegrity, which was developed from the Path2Integrity Final Conference in Kiel, Germany and cooperated from 9 universities and 1 press media from Africa and Europe, that is devoted in the Research Integrity Promotion in Africa and Europe.
