SFU students at SFU's Climate Change and Community Resilience Field School, located at the Arusha Climate and Environmental Research Centre in Arusha, Tanzania. Simon Fraser University (SFU) and Aga Khan University (AKU) have partnered on the Arusha Climate and Environmental Research Centre (AKU-ACER), a highlight of the growing relationships between SFU, AKU and the broader Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN). A new research centre unveiled by SFU and AKU will provide opportunities for research partnerships on community-centred climate innovation, student exchanges and other collaborations between the two institutions. The centre was launched during a visit to the region last week by SFU President Joy Johnson and university delegates, who met with AKU partners to sign a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU builds on a longstanding partnership between SFU, AKU and the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) and enhances the opportunities for joint projects in East Africa. The two universities signed an MOU in 2022 to deliver on the universities' shared commitments to address global issues such as health and climate change, and deepen SFU's engagement in Africa. Both institutions are also committed to advancing the United Nations sustainable development goals.
