OUCAN Global Connect Initiative- Join Now!
As part of an ESRC funded project, OUCAN is launching Global Connect, a
worldwide networking tool for those interested in China-Africa issues.
Please visit
http://oucan.politics.ox.ac.uk/index.php/global-connect<http://redir.aspx/?C=fea0a68783af4e9bbc25912b479e5970&URL=http%3a%2f%2foucan.politics.ox.ac.uk%2findex.php%2fglobal-connect>
and add your details to Global Connect, as well as those of any
institutions and organisations with which you may be affiliated.
The ultimate goal of this initiative is the creation of a searchable
database of individuals and organisations in order to facilitate
linkages between academia, business, development, and policy circles.
Global Connect can be used by business people seeking contacts in
African markets, by researchers planning trips into the field, and by
policy makers searching for emerging markets specialists and the newest
research on Sino-African affairs. The first phase in this project is
the population of a beta version of the Global Connect database, and
OUCAN is seeking assistance from its worldwide network of members in
this regard. Only basic information will be publicly available and your
data will be protected.
