In support of university education, the Kenya Yearbook Editorial Board (KYEB) collaborated with the Commission for University Education (CUE) during their 4th Biennial Conference on University Research and Innovation at the KICC in Nairobi last week.

The conference, attended by 480 participants including national and international presenters, saw the launch of the “Varsity Digest,” an inaugural newsletter on university research and innovation designed and edited by KYEB. The publication showcases innovations and research initiatives from various universities across the country.

KYEB also produced the conference’s “Book of Abstracts.” KYEB’s Chief Executive Officer Ms Lilian Kimeto committed to supporting various government agencies in documenting their initiatives and programmes as part of KYEB’s mandate to tell Kenya’s story.

Prof. Chacha Chacha, CUE chairman, called on universities to integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) with arts, humanities, and social sciences to foster a well-rounded society.

He noted that while most universities focus on STEM, arts, humanities, and social sciences are equally important for a holistic society.

Commission CEO Prof Mike Kuria encouraged universities to continue collaborating with the institution, emphasizing that the Commission and universities share a common vision. He urged universities to view the
commission as a partner, not just a regulator.

Kenya Yearbook remains committed to highlighting developments in the university sector, particularly in research and innovation
