KENET has as one of its mandates, the role of catalyzing collaboration in research and education among member universities and research institutions. KENET promotes collaboration through facilitation of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) in priority academic areas, discovery of active researchers/faculty, provision of research and innovation grants to researchers and member institutions, as well as travel grants for faculty and/or graduate students in SIG areas.

This Call for Proposals for the Educational Technologies (EdTech) Innovation Grants is intended to support faculty to explore innovative ways of leveraging Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in teaching and learning. These Innovation grants target faculty who appreciate the disruption that Generative AI is having and will continue to have on teaching and learning practices and are eager to not only explore opportunities to harness this new technology to improve learning and teaching practices within higher education institutions, but are also driven to generate new knowledge on best practice for integrating Generative AI in university courses, that can be adopted by member institutions.
