ZSI sees its role as supporting strategic cooperation between the two continents of Africa and the European Union through research and social innovation. It is firmly based in the policy background (see for example http://www.africa-eu-partnership.org/). Taking advantage from its global interconnectivity and particular expertise in the field of social innovation and international RTDI cooperation, ZSI provides competence to contribute to EU-Africa partnership projects.
During the 7th EU Framework Programme, ZSI was partner in the CAAST-Net Plus project, which allowed to establish partnerships with stakeholders accross the continent. Furthermore, cooperation with South Africa was strengthened in the BILAT project ESASTAP 2020 (until 2019). Cooperation is being continued in the frame of the International Service Facility.
