Universities, companies, foundations and development organizations can shape the first cohort of NKOD.IA engineers, and the research they do.
Bring a real problem. Every MSAI thesis has a sponsor, and a student works on it in the final semester with academic supervision. Validation by the sponsor counts among the program's outcomes.
Join work on maternal health intelligence, language technology for Lingala, Swahili and Kikongo, edge AI for low-connectivity settings, or data governance.
Through our Brain Gain strategy, scholars of the Congolese diaspora can teach remotely or in hybrid form, without relocating.
Support the NKOD.IA Box, the offline learning kit at the heart of the program. A 25-unit prototype series is in procurement.
Scholarship funding would open the program to talented engineers who cannot afford it. Applicants tell us whether they will need a scholarship.
Meet the engineers early through capstones, and hire graduates trained for the Congo Basin's realities.
Tell us who you are and what you would like to do together.
We agree on the problem, the people involved, and what success looks like.
Scope, data handling under the Code du Numérique and responsibilities are set out in a written agreement.
