DAAD and IUCEA signed a Memorandum of Understanding for further collaboration in the next five years.
Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) Kampala, Uganda, May 26th 2016:
The
Executive Secretary of the Inter-University Council for East Africa,
Prof. Alexandre Lyambabaje calls for universities to take a further step
from publications to
development of innovative products and policies.
Prof
Alexandre was addressing a High Level Dialogue Meeting of
Vice-Chancellors, Deputy Vice-Chancellors and Heads of
Commissions/Councils for Higher Education
and members of East African Higher Education Quality Assurance Network
(EAQAN). The meeting was the culmination of the EAQAN Forum which kicked
off on Monday 16th May, 2016, followed by EAQAN General Assembly on 18th May. Both events
took place at the Imperial Golf View Hotel in Entebbe, Uganda.
The meeting
was also attended by participants from Ghana, Ivory Coast and Somalia
to learn from East African countries on the development of quality
assurance
systems in universities
Prof.
Lyambabaje told the participants of the meeting that among the priority
areas of the Inter-University Council for East Africa’s coordination is
to promote
and encourage research within higher learning institutions. He however,
expressed that in some cases, it has been realized that some
universities are prioritizing the end result of their work as
publications which of course go with promotion of staff instead
of innovation and products as end results.
He
therefore urged universities to view publishing in a different aspect
of moving from publications to development of innovative products and
policies which
will contribute to the development of socio-economic transformation in
the East African region.
