SUMMARY:From Shelf to Field: Kyambogo University and AgriFose2030 to host an impact event.
DESCRIPTION:In an era defined by geopolitical uncertainty\, volatile funding landscapes\, and compounding global food security crises\, a critical question looms over academia: How do we ensure that life-saving agricultural research doesn’t just sit on library shelves\, but actually makes it into the hands of farmers? \nOn May 28\, AgriFoSe30 and Kyambogo University will host a vital hybrid event to answer that exact question. \nOver the course of 1.5 hours\, academic leaders\, researchers\, and policymakers will come together to unpack a proven methodology that bridges the gap between scientific theory and real-world food systems transformation. \nFor the past decade\, AgriFoSe has been pioneering a unique science translation methodology designed to boost food security in low-income contexts. Tested across 17 projects in 12 countries\, this approach ensures that agricultural research is demand-driven\, evidence-based\, and structured for maximum policy and practical impact. \nWhile the program historically focused on supporting individual researchers and projects\, it is now driving institutionalisation with the goal of embedding science translation directly into the higher-level structures of universities across Sweden\, Kenya\, Uganda\, Zimbabwe\, and Southeast Asia. \nBy adopting this institutional methodology\, universities can ensure their research naturally attracts fragmented global funding\, informs national policy\, and delivers tangible innovations to local communities. \nThe event will anchor its concepts in a powerful\, real-world success story from Uganda. Attendees will discover how locally grounded evidence synthesis led by the Kyambogo University hub was put into practice by collaborating with public and private stakeholders. \nThe Speakers include Professor Augustus Nuwagaba\, the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Uganda\, who is the keynote speaker\, Professor Eli Katunguka\, the Vice Chancellor of Kyambogo University\, Professor David Okello Owiny\, Deputy Vice Chancellor of Gulu University\, Programme Director of AgriFose2030\, Dr. Elisabeth Rajala\, Dr. Judith Nagasha\, Senior Lecturer at Kyambogo University who is also the hub leader for AgriFose Uganda hub among others.
