Several topics related to education and didactics, as well as the relations that should be created between academia and industry, were addressed on this occasion, and group discussions were also organised.
EnRHEd was constantly mentioned by the speakers as the “glue” of the event and as an innovative project able to achieve the main objective designated in the event and strongly supported by the European Commission, the funding body of the project, namely capacity building in the field of higher education.
The meeting was attended by about 50 academic staff, who completed a final survey expressing great satisfaction with the topics covered and the organisation of the event.
We would like to thank the Principal of IPRC-Musanze, Emile Abayisenga, and the Project Manager, Clement Ngendo for the excellent organisation.
