@Uni_Rwanda @URSwedenProgram Happy to see my mentees progress

[University of Rwanda @Uni_Rwanda]

Congratulations to Dr. Colores Uwamariya on successfully defending her doctoral thesis at the University of Gothenburg #Sweden through the @URSwedenProgram; a bilateral research partnership between 🇷🇼& 🇸🇪.

Her research explored Rwandan medicinal plants as a source of antiviral compounds against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV); a major cause of severe respiratory infections, particularly among children, with limited treatment options.

Kudos to Dr. Uwamariya and everyone who contributed to this achievement!

Confidentiality agreements aren't just legal formalities, they protect research data, define ownership and help avoid disputes.

If you're managing multi-partner projects, this guide outlines why these agreements matter and how to use them effectively.

Who really wins in the coffee value chain?

For farmers, coffee is a livelihood. For the market, it’s a multi-billion dollar chain.

We are partnering with French Agricultural Research and international Cooperation (@Cirad) to map the entire coffee value chain, identify its most valuable segments, and use data to build a more equitable industry.

The future of coffee is not just in growing it, but in maximizing its value for farmers, industry, and the economy.

Four SGCI-funded researchers share what happened when their research was communicated beyond academic circles - new student collaborations, a WHO Global Summit invitation, and commercial interest.

When science travels further, so does its impact: https://t.co/bo25WqZAWT
