ARE YOU ABLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Importance of science and technology Type of knowledge and skills acquired Type of research required
![Page 5: Graduate research geared towards development of their nations](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815fce550346895dceccda/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Science changed the world Science can solve problems, but not all
Malaria drugs
WHO study:save childrenwhen given
Requires continued followupto improve health
Green revolution
Requires a just societyto come out of poverty trap

TYPE OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ACQUIRED
Type of knowledge All disciplines needed Phocus on agriculture, next health Also technical knowledge badly needed
Type of skills At the same time theoretical and
application orientedOrganize jointly in North and
South

THE IUC-JU CASE: CAPACITY BUILDING Phase I
32 PhDs with North supervision defended in Belgium
MSc programmes established, e.g., MSc Biostats PhD schools established, e.g., Infectious diseases
Phase II 10 PhDs finished become South supervisors Create postdoctoral framework Joint PhD diplomes in Phase II, e.g., JU - UGent
![Page 15: Graduate research geared towards development of their nations](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815fce550346895dceccda/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SPECIFIC IUC-JU CASE: MALARIA PHD Started from TDR project
Assessing the dam effect on malaria incidence
![Page 16: Graduate research geared towards development of their nations](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815fce550346895dceccda/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

CROSS CUTTING INITIATIVE IN STATISTICS CASE
The interest of new IUCs in statistical support MU-K, UCuenca, ADEKUS, UEM and JU
NSS initiative with Ecuador and Vietnam Initiated discussion among Flemish
academics Different target group, different format
![Page 19: Graduate research geared towards development of their nations](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815fce550346895dceccda/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cross Cutting Initiative Stats 31 May 2007
THE CURRENT STATUS
Two debates held at UGent and UHasselt Statistical expertise and consulting at African
Universities: the current status and the missing links
Meeting at VLIR with stakeholders from North and South Lack of human capacity wrt Statistics in all different
disciplines (Exp. Design, Survival Analysis, Surveys) Statistical expertise often theoretical, not practical
![Page 20: Graduate research geared towards development of their nations](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815fce550346895dceccda/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cross Cutting Initiative Stats 31 May 2007
SUPPORT STRATEGY Teaching basic statistical courses in a
region (e.g. Eastern Africa) with participation of a statistician of the different IUCs of that region
University must then take responsability to add these courses to curriculum
![Page 21: Graduate research geared towards development of their nations](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070420/56815fce550346895dceccda/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cross Cutting Initiative Stats 31 May 2007
THE IUC-JU CASE IUC-JU has project to develop Masters
in Biostatistics Each course given twice and then
handed over to JU academic staff member
This could also be attended by statisticians from IUCs in Eastern Africa
Interuniversity website could be set up with course material, available to statisticians in IUC for their courses

ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Many ICP and PhD students don’t find the way back home after studies ICP in nutrition: 2 IUC-JU students lost ICP in biostatistics: 3 lost PhDs: ???
Does the North organizes braindrain? Why to return or not to return? What are most important incentives to
return?

Salary Interesting tasks Accessibility of international research
network
