Universidade Joaquim Chissano (UJC)

The Joaquim Chissano University (UJC) is one of Mozambique's leading higher education institutions. With an interdisciplinary approach and a strong commitment to analysing the contemporary challenges of the African continent, UJC plays a central role in knowledge production regarding political and security dynamics in the region.

The participation of the Joaquim Chissano University in this project strengthens the African perspective on Security and Defence, bringing an in-depth analysis of the specificities of the Mozambican and Southern African contexts. The institution contributes its expertise in strategic studies, defence diplomacy, armed conflicts, and regional governance, addressing critical issues such as terrorism, insurgencies, maritime security, and international cooperation.

Collaboration with UJC reinforces academic cooperation between Brazil, Mozambique, and other African nations, promoting an essential knowledge exchange for understanding security and defence dynamics across the Global South.
