Mawazo Ideas Events: Building Platforms for Innovative Engagement
At Mawazo, we believe that ideas are the essence of creativity, the spark to innovation, and the call to research. This is why we invest in getting good ideas out into the public domain. To do this, we organise a variety of events under the Mawazo Ideas platform. These include, the Mawazo Ideas Night (MIN), a recurring public event that offers local researchers, scholars and other self-identifying nerds an informal and engaging platform to present their ideas to the public, and the Mawazo Ideas Exchange which gathers participants to deep dive into issues in their unique fields of practice.

Mawazo Ideas Exchange: International Women’s Day Workshops
In honor of International Women's Day 2024, the Mawazo Institute held a series of events from Tuesday, March 05, 2024 to Thursday, March 07, 2024. These events aimed to highlight the importance of recognizing women researchers as innovators and celebrate their contributions to the innovation landscape. Discussions centered around understanding the challenges faced by African women researchers in engaging with the innovation ecosystem, exploring unmet research needs, and creating synergies between research and innovation ecosystem players to encourage the uptake of research innovation outputs by women.
