    • About Research Directorate

      In 1998, the National University of Rwanda created a committee known as the Research Commission whose main functions were to coordinate research and scrutinise applications of research proposals and award research grants. In 2002 the Research Commission got increased funding through cooperation with the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida). The first Research Policy was approved in 2006 and now its second edition is in advanced stages of approval. NUR efforts to build research capacities and promotion of research outputs have been on a steady increase. The journal published by NUR was internationally accredited in 2010 and books published by NUR now bear International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN) since June 2011. NUR has established key research thematic areas of: Food Security, Energy, Environment and Climate Change as well as Economic Development and Good Governance. A PhD and MPhil program was introduced in 2007 and NUR is running a Post-Doctoral program. NUR is now working on approving 15 PhD programs in the near future and plans to enrol 1,520 PhD students and 300 Post-Doctoral fellows by 2023. Read More ».
