It’s been quite exciting seeing staff and students of @MMU_Uganda participate in the 2026 Tusker Lite Rwenzori Marathon. I am pleased to celebrate this spirit of physical fitness, healthy living and the promotion of tourism in the beautiful Rwenzori region.
Heights for Progress
Our PhD students engaged in a research mentorship session with Prof. Geert Haesaert from Ghent University, alongside MMU supervisors, strengthening their research through expert guidance and academic feedback. We appreciate this partnership in advancing agroecological research.
I am deeply honoured to have been elected to represent Uganda’s public universities on the Executive Committee of the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA). I sincerely thank my colleagues for the trust they have bestowed upon me.

I am proud to witness the involvement of MMU in the Erasmus+ ODeL-UG Project, particularly, when our staff undertake mobility visits to Institutions like the University of Lisbon and Maastricht University, respectively. This reflects the commitment of MMU to global partnerships.
MMU is participating in the ODeL-UG international capacity-building programme in Portugal and the Netherlands, exploring best practices in Open, Distance and e-Learning to strengthen digital education and expand access to quality higher education in Uganda.

Advancing Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) in Uganda through International Collaboration
As part of the ODeL-UG Project, representatives from RENU, the National Council for Higher Education (@nche_uganda), @kabuniversity , and @MMU_Uganda are participating in a capacity building and knowledge-exchange visit to the University of Lisbon, Portugal, and @maastric_1, the Netherlands.
From 27th to 29th May 2026, the Ugandan delegation visited the University of Lisbon, where they engaged with experts on the institution’s ODeL framework, regulatory and policy environment, curriculum development approaches, and digital infrastructure, including its data centre facilities.
This week, the delegation continues its learning journey at Maastricht University, exploring best practices in digital learning, higher education innovation, and effective ODeL implementation.
We appreciate the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union in enabling the ODeL-UG Project which seeks to enhance access to and quality of higher education in Uganda through Open, Distance and e-Learning.
