More than 70 doctoral students and experts from Central Africa and the Great Lakes took part in two doctoral colleges on the campus of the Catholic University of Central Africa (UCAC) in Yaoundé from December 6 to 10, 2021.

The University Agency of the Francophonie (AUF) of Central Africa and the Great Lakes has piloted the doctoral colleges of two different sectors. Namely on the one hand the Social Sciences, Humanities and Heritage, and on the other the Hard Sciences, including the Regional Doctoral College ''Mathematics, Computer Science, Bioscience and Environmental Geoscience and the Regional Doctoral College ''Humanities and Societies''

This event was attended by two UNIKIN professors who are members of the Steering Committee of each of these two colleges, namely Professor Kasoro (Faculty of Sciences) and Raoul Kienge-Kienge of the Faculty of Law and Director of the School of Criminology, Coordinator of the Social Changes and Sustainable Development workshop of the Humanities and Societies college.
