Post date: Jan 12, 2021 10:3:36 AM

The UoM Innovation Week 2020, a first of its kind, is scheduled from Monday 30 November to Friday 04 December 2020, on the theme: “Government-Academia-Industry Partnerships: A Key Driver of Innovation”. It aims at bringing together academia, the public sector and the private sector in view of strengthening partnerships between the parties for the benefit of the country. The primary purpose of this first UoM Innovation Week is to enhance interactions between all stakeholders in view of stimulating an innovation and entrepreneurship culture in Mauritius, in line with UoM’s vision.

This new UoM vision, coined in 2017, to develop a research-engaged and entrepreneurial University focused on innovation, is itself inspired from SDG 9 which is about building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and fostering innovation.

The Innovation Week will also be an opportunity for UoM Academics to showcase their innovative research and increase the researchers’ visibility to both the public and private sectors and it will also give students the possibility to unleash their creative potential.

Prior to the launch of the Innovation Week 2020, the Vice Chancellor, Prof D Jhurry chaired a Press Conference on Wednesday 25 Nov 2020, in the Council & Senate Room, 7^th floor, NAC Building to present the Programme.
