The project interventions are hinged under the NDP III  STI Interventions and Respective Actors. 

STI Interventions

Objective 1- intervention 4 sets to establish a Space Science and Aeronautics Technology Institute; 

Objective 2- intervention 4 sets to design and implement special programmes for space exploration; 

Objective 3-intervention 7 to develop, oversee and implement programmes in new and emerging areas of space science and technology. 

Project Background
The Science, Technology and Innovation Secretariat is pivotal in spearheading initiatives aimed
at  developing the country’s  space capabilities.  The country's  interest  in space technology is
driven by the need for improved communication, agriculture monitoring, disaster management,
and environmental conservation. As part of the efforts to harness the application of space science
and technology,  government  of  Uganda,  through the Aerospace  Bureau awarded a grant  to

The PhD Topics
Through PhD training the project will enhance innovation and collaboration in space activities,
across a number of institutions of higher learning. The Project therefore seeks to recruit  six (6)
PhD candidates in the following critical areas;
1. Data Science (Geospatial Analytics,  Data Assimilation and Ingestion, Remote sensor
data anaylsis, Space weather forcasting)  
2. Disaster Risk Assessment and Management
3. Sensor design and Weather Instrumentation
4. Community Uptake of weather products and climatic service
