The Government of Kenya and the Republic of South Africa  signed an Agreement for cooperation in science and technology in August 2004. The two countries have decided to jointly support researchers from public universities and public research institutes on an equal and mutually beneficial basis in an effort to enhance scientific and technological cooperation between the two countries. In 2009 the joint S&T Research supported 6 research projects which are still on-going. Only 5 projects will be funded in 2010.

In this year, Joint research project proposals shall be submitted to the relevant authorities in both countries for evaluation (the National Council for Science and Technology in Kenya and the National Research Foundation in South Africa).

Applications should be submitted electronically to seymour@nrf.ac.za
no later than 18 September 2010.
