Nust, Unam sign MoU

The Namibia University of Science and Technology (Nust, and the University of Namibia (Unam), signed a memorandum of understanding last week.The agreement will see the two institutions collaborating in various areas to the benefit of students, staff and the Namibian nation at large. The parameters of this agreement vary in scope and levels of implementation. It will be at discipline level - computer science, engineering, medicine; at the level of service provision - libraries, science laboratories; and at institutional level - research corporation and quality assurance.This agreement will enable the two universities to share resources and to sustain high-cost programmes and facilities, strengthen constituent services, and penetrate new markets.“In some instances, the national and international funding agencies encourage strong partnerships among local universities as evidence of economic collaboration to eliminate unneeded expenditures and achieve economies of scale and cost savings. In these cases, our collaboration objectives are to reduce duplication and redundancy, gain access to NSFAF funding, recruit international students, engage in advanced research, and utilise high-cost facilities,” remarked Dr Andrew Niikondo, Nust acting vice-chancellor.Nust and Unam already have existing joint collaborations in areas such as agriculture therefore, this agreement is an extension of this partnership. “We also have collaboration related to innovation such as the partnership with the Namibia Business Innovation Institute in manufacturing of respirators and surgical masks. We encourage more projects in product development and market place innovation,” said Kenneth Matengu, Unam vice-chancellor.
