TetFund is sponsoring the fifth edition of Research for Impact Initiative to instigate a deeper interaction and cross-fertilization of ideas, expertise and capabilities between researchers from Universities and Polytechnics with a view to grooming a dynamic generation of Researchers, Innovators, and Inventors within the academia.
The initiative is an intensive practical-oriented training which offers a rigorous
innovation and prototype development bootcamp. Participants are required to fully engage and commit themselves, dedicating up to 10 hours per day to the programme which is on innovation management and value creation. This would provide participants with an in-depth insight into necessity, principles, processes, platform and procedures of research and development ideation and implementation management and value creation, which would enable the researchers to have a hands-on experience on how to solve problems and challenges through research, using design tools and methods.
The objective is to translate research from Nigerian tertiary institutions to innovations, inventions, and solutions for practical application and commercialization. The date, venue and time of the Workshop are stated below.
Date: 22nd January – 2nd February, 2024 (10 working days)
Venue: Innov8 Hub Tech, along Airport Road Aco Estate Abuja
Time: Monday to Friday (8:00am-5:00pm)
