What is important : Uac has the vision of being an international reference university in terms of training, research and expertise adapted to the sustainable development needs of Benin and the nations. In accordance with this vision, a certain number of actions were carried out in the second year of management of the rectoral team. To this end, this assessment of year 2 focused generally on governance and management, training, research and cooperation.
What you must remember : In terms of governance and management achievements, a map of UAC management risks, a repository and tools for managing UAC archives have been developed. The rectoral team has improved connectivity on campus and its website. The opening of operating and miscellaneous revenue accounts (incidental products) in the public treasury and the use of public treasury accounts for the UAC are now effective. The construction of a new rectorate building etc. In terms of training, the platform for non-beneficiary high school graduates has been set up and new training offers created in the field of health (FSS and INMeS) and artificial intelligence at IFRI.
Between the lines : With regard to scientific research, it should be noted the strengthening of the research system on Benin’s development problems and the government’s priorities; supporting teacher-researchers to improve Benin’s results at the various CAMES grades; the filing of 15 patents at OAPI with the support of the VaRRIWA program financed by the AUF; the creation of technology transfer offices thanks to the CEA project and the creation of a service for promoting research results at the scientific council.
