GLUK ADVANCES COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH, INNOVATION AND INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING AT IIT Bombay

The first phase of the AAN-DI Blended Mobility Programme at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), India, marked another significant step in strengthening international research collaboration, interdisciplinary learning and institutional partnerships.

As an active institutional partner in the Digital Transformation for Neurodiversity Inclusion in Africa and Asia (AAN-DI) project, Great Lakes University of Kisumu (GLUK) contributed to both the academic engagements and strategic discussions aimed at advancing the consortium's shared research and implementation priorities.

The MIND Workshop provided a platform for scientific exchange and practical engagement with neuroscience research approaches, including electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking technologies, experimental design and data analysis. Expert-led sessions and lived-experience perspectives enriched interdisciplinary discussions on neurodiversity and the role of research and technology in supporting more inclusive educational environments.

Beyond the scientific engagements, GLUK participated in high-level collaborative discussions involving project leadership and partner institutions, addressing key areas of research coordination, baseline survey implementation, digital learning initiatives, project deliverables and long-term sustainability.

These engagements reflected the importance of shared institutional leadership and collective responsibility in translating the AAN-DI project's objectives into coordinated research, educational resources and sustainable institutional practices.

For GLUK, the value of this partnership extends beyond international exposure. It provides opportunities to contribute institutional expertise, strengthen research and postgraduate capacity, participate in the development of collaborative project outputs and help shape approaches to digital transformation and neurodiversity inclusion that respond to diverse educational contexts, including those of African higher education institutions.

The IIT Bombay phase further reinforced the value of bringing together complementary expertise from partner universities, connecting scientific research, technological innovation and institutional experience to address shared challenges in inclusive education.

The collaboration now progresses to the University of Kashmir, where the second phase of the programme is taking place from 19–24 October 2026, focusing on Digital Wellbeing and Inclusion.

Through its continued contributions to AAN-DI, GLUK reaffirms its commitment to research excellence, meaningful international partnerships and the advancement of inclusive, evidence-informed and sustainable digital transformation in higher education.
