Strengthening Gender Inclusion in Research Among Academic Staff at African Universities
The Science Leadership Society of Kenya (SCILS) team organized and hosted a session on 'Strengthening Gender Inclusion in Research in Academic Institutions in Africa' at the 2025 Sustainability Research & Innovation, Africa Satellite Event.
This session was part of broader efforts under the Science Leadership Society of Kenya (SCILS) Program to amplify the voices of women in science, foster inclusive research environments, and challenge structural barriers that limit gender equity in academia across Africa.
"It was energizing to see the commitment from various stakeholders towards transformative change that goes beyond parity—towards truly inclusive and equitable research ecosystems."
Kisumu SCILS Expansion
During the inception meeting for the AREF-funded project in Kisumu City, founders of the Science Leadership Society of Kenya (SCILS) had a golden opportunity to pitch about the program to JOOUST management and researchers.
Slowly but surely, SCILS is spreading its roots and spirit across Kenya. We welcome partnerships and collaborations to join us in this journey to transform the mindset of early career researchers in Kenya.
