Project coordinator: Dr. Raphael Jingura 

Project summary:

The project proposes to use grid and cloud computing technologies as technical interventions to turn brain drain into brain gain by linking local academics and researchers with their international counterparts; and build their capacity to participate in mainstream research activities. 

The specific objectives of the project are:

Advocate and popularize grid and cloud computing as research tools in the University

Develop a t-infrastructure in grid and cloud computing for University faculty

Set up an institutional platform for grid and cloud computing

Establish a Diaspora digital connection model for the University
