UR-Sweden Programme on the Web

The library sub-programme is part of the UR-Sweden Programme for Research, Higher Education and Institutional Advancement. The programme has an updated website, where you can both get a good understanding of the context, and an insight into the various sub-programmes, such as ours.

Some recent and upcoming activities

A couple of weeks ago, some of you spotted Swedish team members, at times together with new colleagues, in and around Kigali. As you may know, there was a call out for a new Sida Research Training Partnership Programme 2019-2024 for Rwanda and the University of Rwanda. The focus was on that.

The present phase 2013-2018 having been extended, activities still take place. Anna Stockman was recently in the country and worked with you on e-resources. There is an upcoming three day workshop on social media and libraries, to be organised the first week of December. Ola Pilerot, will facilitate the event.

In the meanwhile, our doctoral students progress, and in February, Berthilde Uwamwezi will have her final seminar. That is, the last seminar before the PhD defence/viva, which will take place in June. Please check this profile film on Berthilde, done by the UR communications team (follow the link!).

Next week, an administrative meeting called Annual Review Meeting (ARM) is organised in Kigali. Maybe I will see you then!
