The Research and Grant Institute of Ghana (ReGIG) instituted a National Research and Innovation Lecture Series (NaRILS) to create a platform to bring together key stakeholders in the research arena, including students, researchers, private sector, government, NGOs, CSOs and development partners to advance discourses relating to the generation, dissemination, and use of research to promote sustainable development.
The NaRILS also provides a unique opportunity to recognize and celebrate institutions and individuals contributing to the generation, dissemination, and utilization of research in Ghana and beyond. The National Research and Innovation Excellence Award was instituted as part of the lecture series to recognize and celebrate individuals and institutions contributing significantly to the generation, dissemination, and utilization of research in Ghana and beyond.
