Join the Makerere University CoCIS and RIF Open Day
Makerere University has received special funding from the Government of Uganda to support high impact Research and Innovations that inform national development priorities. This first of the kind initiative arose from a series of discussions between the top university management and Government. The fund illustrates the increasing importance that the Government attaches to Research and Innovation as a catalyst to Uganda’s march towards Middle Income Status.
The objective of the fund is to increase the local generation of translatable research and scalable innovations that address key gaps required to drive Uganda’s development agenda, especially the un-funded priorities.
The Mak-CoCIS/Mak-RIF Open Day/Exhibition is yet another opportunity for the public to engage with some of the researchers and innovators from Makerere University College of Computing and Information Sciences (CoCIS). These researchers and innovators will be showcasing outputs from the recently funded Makerere University Research and Innovations Fund projects at CoCIS.
