Yale University president Peter Salovey is set to sign deals with Kenyan food and medical research agencies, along with the Mara Conservancy, during his visit to Nairobi mid this month.

The Ivy League US varsity Thursday said that Prof Salovey’s stay in Nairobi will involve visits to the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri), Kenyan Agricultural Research Organisation (Kalro), National Museums of Kenya and the Mara Conservancy.

The Yale president is expected in Kenya on March 14-16, marking the first ever visit by a senior official of Yale since it was founded in 1701. Ghana will be his first Africa stop, before heading to Nairobi.

“In Kenya they will be convening a symposium on Power of Partnership in Strengthening University Research. It will be co-hosted with the African Academy of Sciences,” the organisers said in a statement.
