Our Partners
WACCBIP has built an extensive network of partnerships, starting from the institutional level, and expanding through to the national, regional and international levels. These partnerships, instituted at the establishment of the Centre, have been strengthened over the last five years, creating a core of strategic liaisons offering a wealth of training and research opportunities. The Centre has established long-term relationships with academic institutions—local, regional & international; and has initiated processes that will firm up growing relationships with local & international industrial partners.
Academic Partners
The Centre has become a major hub with about 8 national, 12 regional and 15 international active partner institutions. This has facilitated the sharing of resources, access to specialized equipment and the mobility of students and faculty across various partner institutions to study and conduct research. Several faculty members in each institution have been involved in joint research projects with WACCBIP researchers, co-supervision of students, hosting of students in their laboratories, serving on thesis advisory committees and serving as external reviewers for student research proposals and theses. The active contributing faculty network includes 54 national, 12 regional and 36 international faculty.
