College of Science and Technology (CST), Former KIST
Nyarugenge Campus, KN 7 Ave
Muhabura Block/Building
Kigali, Rwanda

Arriving at the University
Sessions will take place in the Muhabura Block/Building. There are three gates to the university. The most convenient gate to enter, and closest to the Muhabura Block/Building, is the Muhabura Gate. Local drivers (if you’re taking a taxi or the popular boda boda motorbike taxi) refer to this gate as near “KUBISMA”).
Lunch Options, Water Coolers, Snacks & Coffee
The University of Rwanda’s cafeteria will be serving an affordable lunch buffet on Saturday and Sunday, with lunch being available from 12-1pm. Please bring cash (Rwandan francs) to purchase lunch. There will be vegetarian options. The University will be setting up water coolers outside of the rooms, so we will be asking attendees to bring their own reusable water bottles. Make sure to bring one for yourself. Finally - there will be coffee and snacks that people can grab during break times (attendees should have Rwandan francs for this as well).
