Extension of the partnership programme

The Library sub-programme is happy to announce that extension has been granted for another year of activities within the Sida Research Training Partnership Programme.

This means that our doctoral students will be able to complete their studies and it is anticipated that Berthilde Uwamwezi will be able to defend her thesis in May or June 2019. When it comes to Muhebera Bizimana, it is too early to share any detailed plan.

Master's students continue their work and there are going to be workshops and trainings at the UR  in partnership with the Swedish universities in 2018-2019. We are specifically looking at securing ICT and e-resources on the one hand and at ways to facilitate usage of the resources in our trainings.

The integrated library system, that will be one helpful in harmonizing services all across the UR, is on the way and we are hopeful that implementation will be possible shortly.

We have serious aims and the expectations on us are high. We strive at delivering as well as we can together for a quality and sustainable development of the library services.
