Engineering and Science Complex

On Tuesday, June 11, 2024, the French Development Agency (AFD) paid a courtesy call to Vice Chancellor Prof. Stephen Kiama during their two-day education mission at the University of Nairobi. The primary focus of the visit was the forthcoming Engineering and Science Complex, a significant project born from a joint initiative between the Kenyan and French governments and ratified at the presidential level.

Due to the complexity of global challenges (climate change, energy transition, exhaustion of resources, inequalities…) and the emergence of new disciplines (systems science, artificial intelligence, digitalisation, quantum technology…), the education of engineers, technologists and scientists is evolving fast.
