Some of the PhD Graduates with the current Academic Registrar Prof. Buyinza Mukadasi(3rd Right) during the 72nd Mak Graduation held in May 2022.

Makerere University in collaboration with Norwegian University of Science and Technology
(NTNU), Uganda Martyrs University (UMU) and Regional Universities Forum (for Capacity
Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) are implementing a five year CoSTClim project
(Collaborative Action for Strengthening Training Capacities in Climate Risk and Natural
Resource management). The main goal of the project is to improve the quality of training,
education and research at the partner institutions with a dedicated focus on climate risk,
disaster risk management and natural resource management. CoSTClim builds on a range
of other capacity development projects funded by the Norwegian Government at the partner
institutions, but is more focused on education.

One of the components of CoSTClim is staff and student exchanges through mobilities in both
directions i.e. (a) Uganda to Norway and (b) Norway to Uganda. The student mobilities will
involve both Masters and PhD registered and progressing well at the partners institutions,
pursuing programmes or research which strongly rhymes with the project theme.

At this time, we are inviting applicants from Makerere University for PhD student mobility
to Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) for starting in January 2025. The
project will provide funds to successful applicants for a 3 month stay at NTNU in Trondheim,
Norway. It is envisaged that the successful students will leverage the time at NTNU to advance
their progress on the PhD programme they are enrolled in. Clear outputs, benefits and outcomes from the mobility should be well articulated by the applicants. Potential applicants are encouraged to familiarize with the resources including staff and research focal areas at the
collaborating department at NTNU (www.ntnu.edu/geography). The main supervision
responsibility for the PhD students will remain with the supervisors at Makerere, but NTNU
scholars will provide some complementary supervision, mentorship or assistance towards a
publication. The PhD students will also get the opportunity to participate in other academic
activities at NTNU.
