Ndejje University continues to strengthen its commitment to academic excellence, research, innovation and international collaboration following a visit by Prof. Daniel Acquah from Turku University of Applied Sciences, Finland, who today engaged with the Faculty of Science and Computing on potential areas of institutional partnership.
Prof. Acquah was accompanied by Mr. John Oyambi, from the President’s Office and the Ministry of ICT, who is also an alumnus of Ndejje University from the institution’s second graduation cohort.
The engagement provided an opportunity to explore a range of collaborative initiatives, particularly in joint research, innovation, grant writing and academic exchange programmes. Discussions highlighted the potential for Ndejje University lecturers and researchers to work alongside international partners in developing research projects capable of attracting competitive global funding.
A key highlight of the visit was Prof. Acquah’s willingness to share his extensive experience in securing European research grants. Having successfully won several European grants, he expressed readiness to train Ndejje University researchers in developing competitive grant proposals, share his proven grant-writing approaches and work jointly with university lecturers on grant applications.
The proposed collaboration will also extend to staff and student exchange programmes, creating opportunities for knowledge sharing, professional development, international exposure and cross-cultural academic experiences.
As a key step towards formalising the partnership, Prof. Acquah will spearhead the development of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Ndejje University and Turku University of Applied Sciences. The agreement is expected to provide a framework for sustained collaboration in research, innovation, capacity building and academic exchange.
This prospective partnership represents a significant opportunity for Ndejje University to strengthen its international academic networks and benefit from Finland’s globally recognised higher education and applied sciences ecosystem. It will also provide a valuable platform for advancing the University’s Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) approach through practical learning, collaborative research and exposure to international best practices.
Through such strategic engagements, Ndejje University continues to pursue partnerships that empower its academic community, strengthen research capacity and equip students with the knowledge, skills and competencies needed to make meaningful contributions to society.
