1. New regimes in Research and Innovation for National Development Prof. Shaukat A. Abdulrazak, Ph.D, MBS National Council for Science & Technology

2. Introduction Universities and Research Institutions, vital elements of a National Innovation System have played a central role in the build-up of capabilities for R&D Support, funding and promotion of institutions of higher technical learning among 3 factors that contributed to rapid economic transformation of emerging economies

3. S&T Indicators UNESCO Science Report, 2010

6. Reversing the trend Increase funding for R&D/GDP; 1% recommended Improve R&D infrastructure and capacity to develop innovations Strengthen IPR regimes Nurture and sustain home-grown scientific talents : Brain drain/gain/circulation Youth and Gender engagement

7. Strengthen Capacity on ST&I human resource Increase Postgraduate research locally –NCST Ph.D and M.Sc Calls Partner with others –Kenya-S. Africa –Kenya- Japan –Kenya- DAAD postgraduate training

8. Quadruple Helix Science expertsPolicy makers Private sectorCivil society collaborate

9. Collaborative research; Nationally, Regionally & Internationally. Maximise resources Minimise duplication Enhance application of findings

10. Collaborative research; Silo vs. Multidisciplinary System department rather than single

11. Entrepreneurial University Societal needs form the basis of new research projects Commercialize research products Incubators of new technology

12. 3D Agenda Direction which innovations, along what pathways, towards what goals, Prioritize Distribution Innovate for who? Whose innovation counts? Who gains and who loses, Impact Diversity What combination of different kinds of innovation do we need to address any particular challenge? Multidisciplinary http://anewmanifesto.org

13. The African Manifesto; towards self-rule in ST&I Restore confidence in African ST&I and African Experts by Africans Concerted public and private investments towards sustainable ST&I infrastructures Adopt proactive policies to socialize ST&I www.atps.org.net

14. Science cannot develop in isolation..flourishes through the dialogue of individuals....the meeting of minds. It prospers in a soil that is rich in diversity and in a climate that favours diffusion and cross-fertilisation. Ideas must migrate to develop, they must be shared to take root, and they must be accessible for all to benefit. Extract from Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director’s speech during the World Science Day 2010

15. Through Research, Universities act as bridge between science and development.
