Muhtasari
- Dr Nungu said that among the 39 climate change projects implemented by the Commission, COSTECH has focused on ensuring that research findings reach the end-users who can apply them.
- Therefore, when we fund research, we are not simply spending money on research under Vision 2050.
- As COSTECH marks 40 years since its establishment, Dr Nungu said the institution has funded numerous research projects, with more than 100bn/- invested in research and innovation in general.
- According to the COSTECH chief, research is sometimes conducted to test an idea or approach, and the results may not always be as expected, but they still provide valuable findings.
- The Samia Commercialisation Fund provides financial support of 4.6bn/- to help local researchers, young people, start-ups and content creators transform research and technological ideas into market-ready products.
