ICT-4MRPQ Project team members from ULisboa represented by Prof Anna and Prof Teresa while the overall project coordinator, Prof David Katamba represented Makerere University Business School, in the Africa-Asia IIAS conference in Dakar Senegal which started on the 11th June 2025 up to the 14th June 2025 at the Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD, Dakar, Senegal). The event was organised with collaborative efforts from Collective Africa-Southeast Asia Platform (CASAP, Bangkok, Thailand) and the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS, Leiden, The Netherlands).
The objective of project members’ participation in the ICT-4MRPQ project was to enhance mobility and knowledge exchange initiatives and build capacity with other stakeholders in the region. The team made a presentation (conference paper) “Mobility Exchange as a Co-Creative Opportunity to Boost International Cooperation in Science and Higher Education Excellence to Address Global Challenges”. Furthermore, the team delivered a research lecture series to master’s students to bolster their research output and reduce the time required to complete the research journey. This is an illustration of the impact of the ICT-4MRPQ project, as other players and stakeholders have started using it as a benchmark for enhancing their research supervision and processes.
