The National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) and the Zambia University College of Technology (ZUCT) have formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening collaboration in education, research, innovation, technology transfer and human capital development in the fields of geospatial, remote sensing and space sciences.
The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation between the two institutions and provides opportunities for joint research, industrial attachments, internships, staff and student exchanges, curriculum development and specialised training programmes designed to support Zambia’s growing technology and innovation ecosystem.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, NRSC Executive Director Dr. Patrick Sibanda described the partnership as a significant milestone in strengthening collaboration between academia and industry.
“Today’s ceremony is much more than the signing of a document. It represents a shared commitment to building a lasting partnership that will advance research, innovation, capacity development and the application of science and technology for national development,” Dr. Sibanda said.
