INNAQUE is implemented by a consortium of seven universities from Egypt, South Africa and the European Union. Each partner brings complementary expertise in aquatic sciences, biotechnology, sustainability, digital learning and capacity building, working together to co-design and deliver the INNAQUE BSc programme.
A Euro–African partnership
The consortium links higher education institutions located on the Mediterranean, Red Sea and southern African coasts with universities specialising in open and distance learning and Euro‑Mediterranean cooperation. This geographic and disciplinary diversity supports rich exchanges of knowledge, teaching practices and perspectives on aquatic ecosystem management and resilience.

Alexandria University, Egypt, serves as the project coordinator and hosts a long‑standing Oceanography Department with broad experience in marine science education and international cooperation. AU oversees day‑to‑day management, financial administration, reporting and overall strategic direction, ensuring that project activities remain coherent and aligned with agreed objectives.
