Advanced Physics Training in Collaboration with Africa (APhRICA) Programme (part of the APhRICA initiative) has officially been launched at the Technical University of Kenya. The event was launched on December, 6th, by Deputy Vice-Chancellor in charge of Research and Technology Development (RTD), Prof. Isaac Orina, on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor Prof. Benedict Mutua.
This marks the first time the project is being launched in Africa, whereby 10 students of Physics, pursuing Master’s and PhD from different Kenyan universities, will be trained for two years, at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics-East African Institute of Fundamental (ICTP-EAIFR) in Kigali, Rwanda. The students are primary participants in the programme. Out of the 10 students, three are from TU-K.
Prof. Orina thanked the sponsors and organisers of the event for bringing it to TU-K, saying that they worked hard to ensure the event was successful.
He congratulated the participants for having been selected competitively saying the training will give them requisite knowledge, skills, exposure and opportunity to interact with expertise from world over.
