Aim and Benefits of UK Higher Education Grants
Grants are awarded to universities in sub-Saharan Africa for projects ranging from six months to two years.
The purpose of the funding is to strengthen relationships between academia and industry.
To maximize the impact of this collaboration, universities are funded to undertake bilateral secondments with local industry partners, and in turn, share their experiences with a larger number of spoke universities through a series of knowledge-sharing workshops, secondments, reports, and other collaborative activities.
As part of the 22/24 Higher Education Partnerships in sub-Saharan Africa call, grants of £100k will be awarded to universities in sub-Saharan Africa for two-year projects.
The focus of these projects will be on building partnerships with industry in order to enhance engineering curricula and strengthen institutional research and innovation capacity.
The projects will be implemented through a ‘hub and spoke model. In this model, the hub universities will lead the project, facilitating bilateral secondments with local industry partners, and coordinating knowledge-sharing workshops, reports, curriculum reviews, and research projects with a large number of spoke universities, as well as with industry and UK partners.
