EU-STRCUU Project Highlights

The effects of climate change and the crisis of sustainable energy are key contemporary global challenges hitting mostly the sub-Saharan Africa, which requires concerted and global interventions. Universities are key components in designing and disseminating innovations to mitigate these two challenges. In order to strengthen the contribution of academia in this effort, the capacity of young universities need to be enhanced for effectiveness, visibility and international contribution. The EU-Erasmus co- funded project: ‘Strengthening Teaching and Research Capacities in recently established Ugandan Universities to deliver climate change resilience and green energy solutions to farming communities (STRCUU)’ is a capacity building action for two young Ugandan universities; Ndejje University and Soroti University.
