The University of Nairobi played host to a high-level workshop as part of the 10th UNESCO Africa Engineering Week on Thursday, September 12, 2024. The event, focused on "Engineering and Sustainable Development in Kenya," brought together government officials, industry leaders, and academia to address critical challenges facing the continent.

In a triumph that resonates far beyond the lecture halls of the University of Nairobi, Linus Anari, a Geospatial Engineering student at the Faculty of Engineering, has been named one of the winners of NASA's prestigious Pale Blue Dot Challenge. The competition, which sought innovative solutions to pressing global issues like climate change, water scarcity, and food insecurity, drew over 1,600 participants from around the world.

In a milestone event that underscores the University of Nairobi's commitment to fostering global academic partnerships, three exceptional students from the Faculty of Engineering have been flagged off to France for a five-month exchange program. The students—Mwawasi Elizabeth, Sandra Arunga, and Anne Makhanu—will engage in cutting-edge research and academic programs at two prestigious French institutions, Ècole des Ponts ParisTech and CentraleSupèlec.
