The official countdown to 𝐖𝐌𝐒𝐔 𝐑𝐃𝐄 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 continues.
As we draw closer to this two-day celebration of research, development, and extension, we highlight platforms that promote stakeholder engagement, strengthen research dissemination, and bridge the gap between research and policy development through the following activities:
𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 — Bringing stakeholders together to present priority problems and development concerns, providing opportunities to identify areas for collaborative research and innovation.
𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩 — Focusing on research publication and the identification of cloned and hijacked journals to promote awareness of credible and responsible scholarly publishing practices.
𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 — Providing a platform for policy presentations that strengthen the connection between research, policy development, and the needs of communities.
Join us on November 16–17, 2026, at the WMSU Gymnasium and witness how research informs policy, collaboration drives innovation, and knowledge contributes to sustainable development.
See you there!
