This event offered an invaluable platform for gaining insights into Uganda's participation in Horizon Europe and exploring the vast potential for research and innovation collaborations between Africa and Europe.

Together, we strive to contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future.

KIU remains deeply committed to championing research excellence and innovation in Uganda. We are excited to continue our engagement with the EU and other stakeholders, creating impactful partnerships that address pressing challenges and drive transformative progress. Through shared goals and collaborative effort, we can shape a brighter future for all.
