P
rof. Peter Mbithi, the vice chancellor of the University of Nairobi (UoN), hosted the CARTA 2nd Vice Chancellors’ meeting on 10-11 July in Nairobi, Kenya. Speaking to the more than 70 participants from eight universities across subSaharan Africa, Prof. Mbithi in his opening remarks warned that the risk of failure to achieve development goals was substantial “if Africa does not invest in quality research.” The conference provided an opportunity for university representatives to reinforce their commitment to advancing Africa’s research and graduate training capacity, while also sorting through the most appropriate ways to increase investment. One idea was to take the investment case directly to heads of state and government, to urge more direct domestic investment for research and multi-university collaboration. Stronger research capacity in universities, Prof. Mbithi added, translates to intellectual capital that can address problems specific to Africa among other benefits. Prof. Mbithi used the example of the University of Nairobi’s own efforts to promote partnership and collaboration as a way to improve graduate training and research. The university has broadened the scope of opportunity available to its graduate students, and is helping to ensure that UoN researchers are contributing to the body of evidence in various disciplines. This is through collaborative ventures such as patent protection and licensing, or formal mentorship programs with industry whether with private sector firms or other institutions.
