Questions this course answers

Why did science and technology matter to post-genocide reconstruction?

Research and technology can support public services, livelihoods, and decision-making, but only when institutions and people can use them.

What is the role of a connector institution?

Innovation becomes useful when evidence can move across institutions and be adapted to real conditions.

What is the best test of an innovation?

Novelty is not impact; reliability, inclusion, evidence, and long-term stewardship determine public value.
