LATEST FROM KENET
The Computational Modeling and Materials Science (CMMS) is a special interest group supported by KENET to enhance research capacity development in the use of computational modeling in science and technology. Research work is expected to involve university faculty and graduate students in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and the Environmental sciences but strongly welcomes those from other basic and applied sciences. To increase research output directly or by complementing the existing limited work from groups with standard experimental infrastructure, CMMS has embraced computational modeling which is now considered as an important...
The Computer Science and Information Systems (CS/IS) Research and Innovation Grants is intended to promote early stage CS/IS research and development in current and emerging research areas, as well as strengthen the CS/IS SIG. The Research and Innovation grants target early stage research, enabling researchers to undertake proof-of-concept work to support R&D ideas and concepts. It is envisioned that the Research and Innovation grants, which are ideally targeted at junior faculty, will position recipient researchers in good footing to further their research and expertise in these areas, and subsequently attract more resea...
Research and Innovation are important pillars in the development of any society. For Kenya to industrialise and improve the wellbeing of her people, increasing investment in research and development within Engineering is a must. This call seeks to fund research in engineering with great potential for impact in Kenya.
Building on the 2022 call, we seek to fund projects that will support or lead to the establishment of vibrant multidisciplinary research groups in engineering disciplines including but not limited to Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Chemical Engine...
To enhance the learning environment at student hostels KENET is deploying off campus eduroam wifi installation at off campus hostels at JKUAT and Laikipia main campuses. KENET has set up off-campus eduroam Wi-Fi installation at private hostels at JKUAT and Laikipia University main campuses. This involves extending point-to-point links to the hostels and installing the required Wi-Fi access points. This is part of KENET's strategic initiative to promote and facilitate the digital transformation and digital inclusion of member institutions using ICT as the National Roaming Operator of Eduroam in Kenya.
...The Annual ICT Directors Forum for Universities, Research Institutes and Teaching Hospitals was held in Naivasha on April 27-28, 2023. The One and half-day-in-person event was attended by ICT Directors from Universities, Research Institutions and Teaching Hospitals or their representatives with over 93 participants. Invited guests, KENET Management Board and staff were also in attendance. The theme for the forum was, "Financing Digital Transformation and Digital Campus Infrastructure in Member Institutions".
