Proposal writing has been and is still a problem to both undergraduate and graduate students. Dr. Drake Mirembe through the research group ESCANET is trying to bridge the gap of the lack of skills for students undertaking their research. This is one of those seminars that Dr. Drake Patrick Miremnbe has embarked on to bridge the gap and encourage young people to do research which is relevant to the communities where they live so that their work is not just a heap of science that does not have value to the community.

He further urged researchers to continue seeking knowledge and scout for any avenues that would help them enhance or improve their understanding of the different areas of research such as digital security, e-learning, ICT4HEALTH and Agriculture.
