"Research asks what is true. It disciplines our curiosity with method, and it tells us, sometimes unwelcomingly, that our assumptions are incomplete." Rt. Rev. Prof. Grace Lubaale, Chief Guest at the 2nd Annual UCU Research & Innovation symposium. #ucuresearchsymposium

"We take particular pride in supporting our academic and research staff to undertake research that is relevant to the University's Strategic Plan, Uganda's Fourth National Development Plan (NDP IV), and other regional and global development frameworks, including the Sustainable Development Goals." #UCUResearchSymposium -Mr. David Mugawe, DVC Finance & Administration (On behalf of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Mushengyezi)

"At UCU, we take research seriously. We recognise that meaningful research requires deliberate investment, an enabling institutional environment, and sustained support for our researchers.

Some of the work resulting from this investment is being showcased at this symposium." #UCUResearchSymposium2026 - Mr. David Mugawe, DVC Finance & Administration
