The University of Namibia (UNAM) is hosting the 20th Southern African-Nordic Centre (SANORD) International Conference in Windhoek, with a call for African universities to rethink how knowledge is produced, shared and applied to the continent's development.

Students at the International University of Management (IUM) are urged to grab every opportunity to gain knowledge and skills and be agents of change.

The students were reminded of these facts during the official opening of the institution's 2025 academic year in the capital.

The Minister of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism has warned researchers against the exploitation of indigenous people's traditional knowledge and genetic resources without benefiting them.
