"Making in West Africa" is a global Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship (MSCA). This means that it is divided into an 'outgoing' and a 'return' phase. During the outgoing phase (1.9.2022-29.2.2024), the researcher lives in Nigeria and works closely with the partner organization, the History Department of the University of Ibadan. Research stays in Ghana are also planned for this period. Furthermore, this project phase also includes a 3-month secondment (1.12.2023-29.2.2024) at the African Studies Centre Leiden (Netherlands). In the return phase (1.3.2024-28.2.2025), the researcher will live and work in Europe. She is part of the Global Contemporary History Unit in Graz, and cooperates closely with Department III of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin.

The project includes various activities during the outgoing as well as the return phase.
