The University of Cape Coast (UCC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Center for West African Studies at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (CWAS-UESTC) and Chengdu GOLDISC Health Data Technology Co. Ltd. to deepen academic and research collaboration. 

The agreement provides a framework for student and staff exchanges, capacity-building initiatives, joint education and research projects, and the sharing of scholarly materials and information.

The Chaplaincy Committee of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has organised a five-day retreat to review its activities and develop strategies for implementing its Strategic Action Plan.

The retreat, held from November 17–21, 2025, at Ed Hotel on campus, provided an opportunity to reflect on past achievements and challenges, assess the present, and chart a new course for the future.

The government has been urged to support local innovations, including the manufacturing of rudimentary farm technologies to help address the country’s dependence on imported technologies and agricultural machinery.

Many believe that Ghana has the requisite human resources and technical know-how to produce agricultural tools, innovations, and machinery to consolidate gains in the sector when given the necessary backing.

Student leaders at the College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences (CANS) have been trained on the procedures and strategies involved in accessing and winning grants for research.

The beneficiary students were drawn from departmental associations within the College.

The training, organised by the office of the Provost, was also aimed at equipping participants with practical strategies to develop compelling research grant proposals aligned with contemporary funding trends.

Lecturers and other stakeholders in the tertiary education sector have been advised to guide students in the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Delivering a public lecture, Prof. Dr. Ralf Meyer emphasized the importance of fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills rather than encouraging over-reliance on technology.

In an effort to explain its implications for the Ghanaian people, the Department of Data Science and Economic Policy of the School of Economics, UCC, has held a roundtable discussion on the 2026 Budget statement at the School of Graduate Studies auditorium.

The presentation of the 2026 Budget Statement to Parliament on Thursday, November 13, 2025, by the Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has so far attracted divergent reactions.

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Education (FOHSSE) has started a Public Lecture series to encourage intellectual discourse by  bringing together experts from diverse academic backgrounds to discuss topics in areas relevant to emerging trends in  education.

The lecture series, which will be held quarterly, also aims to build the capacity of faculty members in interdisciplinary areas through brainstorming sessions with experts in academia to espouse the critical role of  education in the Ghana’s development aspirations.

The Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) of the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly (CCMA), Mr. George Justice Arthur, has reiterated his commitment to tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience of academia to transform the Metropolis.

He is, therefore, calling on faculty members of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) to support him in accelerating the development of the area.
