Harness Mukhongo - AEPEA Panelists and topics. Co-Moderator: Dr. Keneth Chelule - KIRDI 1. Prof. Samson Rwahwire - Director Graduate Studies, Busitema University Researcher Contract Researching: Commercialization of university research is a win-win strategy for both industries and academia: industry gets solutions while universities get resources. What is hindering adoption of this strategy? Rapporteurs: Dr. Jacqueline Makatiani- Moi University 2. Dr. Simon Githuku - In-charge of Research, KAM Josephat Chege - Biogas Internnational Research & Development (R&D): R&D department serves to identify industrial issues that universities can address. Few medium scale companies in the country have this department. With this shortcoming, how can universities be sensitized on researchable industrial issues that they can work on?

7 3. Vesa Korhonen - CEO, Nocart Ethical issues in collaborative research: Collaborative research conflicts can arise from issues such as access to data and research (including that which is not publicly available) for academics from industry and for industry from academics, and dealing with controversial results. How can such conflicts be minimized in university-industry collaborations?

4. Dominic Wanjihia - CEO, Biogas International Implementing collaborative research: Breaking the Barriers: How Research Ideas can be Implemented by Industrial Players - how to implement research ideas achieved so far by center faculty in various partner industries.

5. Prof. David Tuigong - CEO, KIRDI Developing collaborative research: Approaches to Developing Collaborative Research Ideas. What are these approaches and how best can they be utilized?

6. TBD (RUFORUM) Resilience and collaborations in pandemic times: How can Academia-Industry research collaborations be sustained during and after the Covid-19 pandemic?

7. TBD (Moi University) Intellectual Property issue in collaborative research: Parties in collaborative research sometimes find themselves without a clear sense of who has rights to royalties, or who can make binding decisions regarding publication or commercial exploits. What influence has the Intellectual Property policies had on such issues? 16.00-17.00 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS INTERACTION SESSION Moderator: Zinaida Fadeeva, Universiti Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and COVID-19; Responsible Consumption Sains Malaysia – USM, Malaysia and Production (SDG 12) Team Member Panel of the International Association of Universities (IAU) Higher Education and Research Co-Moderator: Dr. Jacqueline Makatiani for Sustainable Development (HESD) Custer for the UN SDGs Rapporteur: Dr. Dorcas Lusweti Panelist 1.
