TRANSFORMING HOW WE DEVELOP RESEARCH CAPACITY WITHIN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING IN AFRICA 1st OCTOBER 2020, 10- 12.30 pm EAT

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89898028707?pwd=eUJWc0VkWWJYRlJqYmlkVnRUTWorZz09
Meeting ID: 898 9802 8707
Passcode: 168752

The aim of these interactive webinar series is to provide a platform for stakeholders in higher education and beyond, to reflect and share their perspectives on how we can change mindsets and enhance transformative research capacity development policies and practices in African universities. There is a disconnect between training of upcoming scholars and their real experiences when conducting research, and in their professional life as researchers.  As such, our discussion will draw insights from case studies in the continent that are applying transformative approaches in research capacity development and suggest ways in which we can improve our practice.  Your presence is highly welcome.

Join us for a panel discussion with
1. Dr. Godwin Murunga – Executive Secretary – CODESRIA – Senegal
2. Mr. Darius Mogaka Ogutu – Director, University Education, Ministry of Education – Kenya
3. Dr.  Kendi Muchugi – Lecturer, African Nazarene University  and AFELT- Kenya
