The Computational Modelling and Materials Science (CMMS) is one of the Special Interest Group supported by KENET to enhance research capacity development in the use of computational modelling in science and technology. Research grants support the research projects of early career PhD faculty and researchers in computational biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, environmental and engineering sciences. In order to increase the research output from research groups with standard experimental infrastructure, CMMS has embraced computational modeling which is now considered an important decision support tool. In this regard, CM...
One of the mandates of KENET is to promote research collaboration. KENET subscribed to Elsevier Scival research analytic tool in January 2016 to measure the degree of collaboration among KENET members. The collaboration is measured in terms of joint publications indexed in Scopus database and is often used for global universities and research rankings.
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...
The KENET 2022 cohort of eight graduate trainees started their training on January 5, 2022. These graduate trainees will enhance our staff pipeline and increase our capacity to deliver new digital services in the following key areas.
1. Applications Development. This is the area of highest demand in ICT staffing, especially with increased blended and online learning and for developing new cloud-based research services. The application development team is responsible for continually enhancing the KENET remote teaching platform, development of new cloud-based software appliances to support the researche...
KENET has developed online courses to equip the KENET Community with relevant skills. These are online self-paced courses currently being offered by KENET at NO COST to its members. All the participants will require to undertake the courses are a laptop and Internet connection and a commitment to complete the course.
