The Centre for German-African Scientific Cooperation at the University of Yaoundé I in Cameroon was officially launched on the 28th of February 2012.  His main focus is the promotion and animation of science and culture at an international level through the creation and development of German-African interdisciplinary research teams which may also comprise scientists from other regions of the world. The Centre deals as a new interface for the scientific connection of scientists, university teachers and research institutes in line with the promotion of academic and scientific excellence within the African continent and between African and international, particularly German Universities.
