About the African Universities Week

The African Universities Week is celebrated annually on the 12th November by Universities in Africa. This day coincides with the birth of the Association of African Universities in Rabat, Morocco, on November 12, 1967. The African Universities Week aims to present a unique platform to promote critical dialogue among stakeholders on how to improve Higher Education in Africa. The African Universities Week Celebrations have become a premier event on the calendar of AAU and this day has been celebrated by HEIs since 2000.
