The visit served to honor past successes while laying the groundwork for a renewed partnership agreement focused on global competitiveness and commercialization.

The workshop was convened primarily to onboard researchers into collaborative ecosystems designed to dismantle traditional academic silos. The University’s Director of Research and Enterprise, Prof. Thomas Ochuku Mbuya,  also leading the Sustainability Cluster, highlighted that by integrating research clusters, the University is "not just producing papers, but building a thriving ecosystem to provide the intellectual power needed for national development”. 

The launch, held at the UoN Towers, coincided with the kickoff of the “Sisters Science Safari”, an experiential learning programme designed to immerse secondary school girls from Nairobi, Narok, and Kajiado counties into the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) by connecting them with successful female scientists and academic role models.
