Testimonials
"This is the best partnership I have seen in Academia. It has helped build my capacity to streamline ideas in a more structured manner. The knowledge transfer, networking, and relationships have given me light and I intend to take that light back with me to my institution.”
“Embarking on the 19th cohort of the Research for Impact (R4i) Initiative at Innov8 Hub was a revelation and my over 20 years experience in research and development has been dwarfed. The technology gap in Nigeria necessitates the development of local content, indigenous technology, and technical expertise. My conviction solidified during this transformative experience.”
“My experience at the R4i has been a remarkable life changer, propelling me toward a future where my research is not just an intellectual pursuit but a catalyst for positive societal change. May the seeds sown at R4i continuously blossom into a garden of transformation for our great nation.”
"The knowledge gained at Innov8 Hub under the R4i program has opened a door to innovation and career development. It has also taught me how to approach research from needs, demand and problem-solving."
“The opportunity and experience gathered here has really shaped my ideas and innovation into a marketable form, which will ultimately have a great impact in my society”
“R4i has been incredibly insightful. Before this, I knew little about innovation and educational technology, but now I understand the concept of innovation.”
"My time at R4i was a transformative experience. It wasn't just about acquiring new skills or learning new concepts; it was about being part of a community that believes in the power of innovation and the boundless potential of the human mind. It was a place where ideas were not just tolerated but celebrated, where collaboration was not just encouraged but actively nurtured, and where failure was seen as a stepping stone on the path to success."
“So happy to be part of the 66 participants. As a team member of Team 18, I could say that I am not just an inventor but transitioning into an entrepreneur.”
“My R4i experience has amazingly enriched my knowledge about how to take my research activities to the next level that will be impactful rather than the traditional and stereotyped perception of publishing for promotion alone. The unquantifiable and life-changing training sessions have undoubtedly prepared fertile grounds for flowering and development of novel, lofty and highly-innovative research ideas that can potentially solve emerging problems facing human existence.”
“The technicality of the instructors is of world class standard. Their methods of teaching, wealth of knowledge and experiences dished out to us has made me fit in well with the phrase ‘Learn, Unlearn and Relearn’. It has also opened my eyes to ways of improving my teaching methodologies.”
“Special thanks to TETFund with the support of Innov8 Hub, for creating a platform that will dramatically change the orientation of Nigerian researchers from research for promotion to research for impact.”
