LATEST FROM KENET
KENET conducted the fourth regional cybersecurity training from April 20 – 24, 2026 at the Silver Palm Resort & Spa in Kilifi. The Coast region workshop brought together 51 participants, comprising System Administrators, Network Administrators, and ICT Support staff, from 21 KENET member institutions.
The comprehensive, hands-on training featured two specialized tracks: Track 1 focused on securing institutional email sys...
KENET is mandated, among other things, to facilitate research collaboration among member institutions. This is done through three Special Interest Groups (SIGs), namely, Computer Science and Information Systems (CSIS), Computational Modelling and Materials Science (CMMS), and Engineering. Each SIG is coordinated by a part-time Research Associate, who is usually a senior faculty member or researcher in the respective academic area. In this role, they help KENET build and grow a network of researchers and faculty, as well as develop Calls for Proposals for research and innovation grants targeting early caree...
Artificial Intelligence continues to have great impact on the education sector and is forcing academics to adapt how they teach and assess learning outcomes. In Kenya, the impact of AI is compounded by the limited resources available at most of our institutions of higher learning. In addition, to effectively take advantage of the AI opportunity, STEM education must be enhanced to keep up with emerging trends and to prepare graduates capable of leveraging AI and other technologies for problem solving.
This call for proposals seeks to support early-career researchers in advancing emerging areas of Artificial Intelligence through work that combines technical depth with demonstrable, real-world implementation. The grant is designed to catalyze the development of innovative ideas into functional pilots or prototypes that can be tested, refined, and shared as practical reference models. The call, therefore, aims to strengthen institutional capacity in priority AI domains while generating insights, tools, and systems that can be adopted, adapted, and built upon by students, researchers, and other institutions....
This call seeks to fund engineering research in Kenyan universities or research institutions that leverage advances in AI and exploit both the computational and LoRaWAN infrastructure installed by KENET. In addition, this call seeks to support early-career PhD faculty and/or researchers in advancing emerging areas of Artificial Intelligence through work that combines technical depth with demonstrable, real-world implementation. The grant is designed to catalyze the development of innovative ideas into functional pilots or prototypes that can be tested, refined, and shared as practical reference models.
