Country wide Library Research Supporting Component
Main objective
To reinforce the work of creating a modern research library at the core of the university, providing relevant support and resources necessary for the research capacity development at the University of Rwanda
Specific objectives
More information on the activities within the sub program can be found at the blog: Capacity building of university libraries in Rwanda with Swedish university partners
The original partners were the libraries of the National University of Rwanda and the library at Blekinge Institute of Technology. Since 2013 all the libraries of the new and merged University of Rwanda are partners of the project.
In 2012 the Swedish School of Library and Information Science at the University of Borås joined the team and already in 2014 the first PhD student in Library and information science started her studies in Borås.
