Description

Nearly five years ago, the Ghana Technology University College (GTUC) responded to a call for proposals by the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET) and the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) under Component 2 of the Ghana Skills and Technology Development Project (GSTDP). Funding received was used in the establishment of the Technology Research and Innovation Centre (TRIC) for technology and market-oriented research with an overarching goal of transferring technology to the public and industry. Ghana Technology University College is committed to bridging the gap between academia and industry, and the establishment of TRIC transformed this vision into reality. Nine projects were selected from presentations made at workshops by researchers from our academic faculties (ie, Faculty of Computing and Information Systems, Faculty of IT Business and Faculty of Engineering) in collaboration with their private industry partners. Thus, the implementation of the projects entailed cross-institutional collaborations between GTUC, COTVET and MESTI with the involvement of the private sector. This paper discusses the processes and outcomes of the implementation of the TRIC projects with recommendations for the sustainability of TRIC.
