2nd International Week for Academic Libraries, 21-25th of September, 2026, HMU, Heraklion, Crete, Greece
Africa Week @ HMU continues its thematic journey in 2026, building on the discussions and partnerships initiated during AW1 (2024) and AW2 (2025). This year’s focus, “Innovation Under Constraints: How Lab to Market Succeeds (and Fails) in the Global South,” shifts attention from ideation to translation — examining how research outcomes, prototypes, and innovative ideas perform when exposed to real market conditions.
