The University of Nairobi welcomed H.E. Wadid Benaabou, the new Ambassador of France to Kenya, on a courtesy visit that provided an opportunity to take stock of ongoing projects, including the Engineering Science Complex, and identify areas for deeper collaboration in research, training and innovation.

For UoN staff and students, stronger Kenya-France cooperation is expanding access to research opportunities, practical training and international academic networks.

As Amb. Benaabou begins his tour of duty, UoN looks forward to advancing this partnership and creating new opportunities across the University. @FranceinKenya

[Onunga @onunga254]

22 September. NextGen Build opened at the UNES Boardroom. Sessions introduced the Denmark–Africa Knowledge & Innovation Programme & the core question: how to design, construct & manage buildings & cities that are cheaper, smarter, better for the environment & ready for the future

[Bravynejohn Kipsang @Bravynejohn]

🌍 Grateful to have supported the KIP Research Team at #NextGenBuild 2026.

A valuable experience exploring green innovation, carbon intelligence, sustainable construction & digital tools.

As a QS student, I’m excited to be part of shaping a smarter, greener built environment.

[UoN Faculty of Built-Environment and Design @UoNbuiltenviron]

The workshop focused on:
Carbon Intelligence – tracking the lifecycle carbon impact of construction materials.
Green Building Innovation – advancing resilient, low-carbon urban solutions.
Socially Inclusive Housing – linking affordable housing with sustainable design. @uonbi

[UoN Faculty of Built-Environment and Design @UoNbuiltenviron]

At #NextGen Build, building on previous foundational sessions, the second workshop focused on Carbon Intelligence, including the integration of digital tracking tools to measure the lifecycle&carbon impacts of modern construction materials. @uonbi #WeAreUoN @RECMQS_UoN @cresa_uon
