‘Opening of SARIMA Workshop’

 


 
I would like to extend a warm welcome to the overseas experts who were in our midst today to participate in the Workshop on Increasing External Funding for Research, organized jointly by the Consultancy and Contract Research Centre (CCRC) of the University of Mauritius and the Southern African Research and Innovation Management Association (SARIMA). Mauritius has always benefited from the cooperation and support of its developmental partners to build national capacity for conducting research of national relevance. I thank SARIMA for its contribution to this very important capacity building workshop, and the Consultancy & Contract Research Centre of the University for organizing it.  I hope that the participants will take the opportunity for networking to develop more ambitious, multidisciplinary research that will serve the needs of the region.
