  • Egerton University, Nakuru – July 10, 2025 Egerton University, in collaboration with the National Research Fund (NRF) and the Nakuru County Festival Committee, held a strategic meeting yesterday to launch Phase One of preparations for the Kenya National Research Festival.

  • Preparations for the upcoming National Research Festival 2025 gained momentum as senior officials from the National Research Fund (NRF), Egerton University, and the National Organising Committee paid a courtesy visit to the Office of the Governor, Nakuru County.

  • Egerton University, the National Research Fund (NRF), and the Nakuru County Government have jointly affirmed their readiness to host the National Research Festival 2025, which will take place from August 18 to 22 at Egerton University’s Njoro Main Campus.

  • Egerton University played host to a significant national forum on 20 August 2025 during the Kenya National Research Festival, where stakeholders from across the education, government, and development sectors met to reflect on the future of agricultural education.

  • Egerton University and the National Research Fund (NRF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Kenya National Research Festival 2025. The MOU was signed by Egerton Vice Chancellor, Prof. Isaac Kibwage, and NRF Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Dickson Andala.

    The signing took place at the Chancellor’s Boardroom, Egerton University. It followed a joint press briefing where both parties confirmed their readiness to host the national event.

    The MOU has taken time to finalize. This was due to financial and logistical obligations that had to be clearly outlined and agreed upon by both institutions. These included shared responsibilities on accommodation, venues, publicity, and technical support.

    Despite this, preparations have remained on course. The National Steering Committee and the Local Organising Committee have continued to meet and coordinate key activities.

    The festival will take place from August 18–22, 2025, at Egerton University's Main Campus. It is expected to attract researchers, innovators, students, industry leaders, and policymakers.

    Prof. Kibwage reaffirmed the university’s commitment to a successful event. Dr. Andala welcomed the partnership and praised the steady progress already made.

    All systems are now in motion for a vibrant and impactful research festival.
