It was an inspiring day of discovery as the bright young minds of Kyambogo Primary School stepped into the world of higher learning at the Kyambogo University Library.
Today the library conducted an engaging information literacy session for students from the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Population Studies.
Focus was on accessing and utilizing library resources for academic success.
Open Science + Improving the Visibility of Uganda's Research Output
Uganda's First-ever ORCID Workshop 🎉
On Friday, 9th May 2025, RENU together with @CuulibrariesU held an Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) Workshop under the theme “Connecting Identities, Empowering Research” at Hotel Africana.
@ORCID_Org is a strong tool that promotes open science, by providing a unique, persistent identifier for researchers, helping to connect them with their work and foster greater transparency, collaboration, and visibility in research.
The workshop brought together librarians and researchers from member universities and research institutes to discuss the importance of establishing an ORCID consortium in Uganda. The conversation centered on simplifying identity management across research platforms and exploring the critical role of persistent identifiers in enhancing digital scholarship and research visibility.
Through this collaboration, RENU and @CuulibrariesU
are working together to improve access to digital resources, promote digitisation, and support the global visibility of Uganda’s research output. @ORCID_Org adoption is a key step in ensuring our researchers are discoverable, connected, and visible in the global research ecosystem.
