The Navarra Center for International Development (NCID) is proud to announce the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The African School of Economics (ASE), located in Benin. 

The aim of this agreement is to develop an academic partnership whereby both parties are engaged in collaborative research and training initiatives. Through this agreement, established by Prof. Luis Ravina, NCID's Founder and Director and Prof. Leonard Wantchekon, ASE's Founder and President, both institutions seek to explore the possibility of faculty exchange for the purpose of research, teaching, and other scholarly activities, as well as short-term visiting programs for students between the two schools. The first collaborative initiative will be the participation of two researchers from the NCID in ASE's 2016 edition of the Summer Institute for Economic Research (SIER), that will take place in Calavi next December.
