Software that compounds the work.

Four products born from the engagements we run every day. Built for institutional scale, secure by default, and live in weeks — not quarters.

Research in Nigeria (RiN)

Making Nigerian research visible, accessible, and impactful.

RiN is a dedicated platform for promoting Nigerian research and fostering international collaboration across the country's Higher Education Institutions. We connect local researchers with global opportunities, spotlight Nigeria's academic achievements, and create pathways for diaspora scholars to re-engage with home.

A two-way listings platform that bridges Nigerian and international academic opportunities. We publish programmes from both Nigerian HEIs reaching a global audience and international institutions offering opportunities to Nigeria's academic community.

RiN Data Collect

The field operation that powers the DIA platform and the broader Research in Nigeria data ecosystem — a coordinated network of trained data collectors who gather, verify, and maintain information on Nigerian and African HEIs, research organisations, and funding bodies.

RiNpods

Thels i-Labs

Turning university research into real businesses.

An innovation hub embedded inside university campuses that turns research into real businesses. Through flagship programmes, students and researchers are equipped with the tools and pathways to build startups from their academic work. For too long, groundbreaking research has stayed on the shelf — published, cited, but never applied. i-Labs changes that with a structured environment where innovation is actively supported, from initial idea to market entry.

Thels Campus

The off-campus extension of the Thels i-Labs model — a multi-purpose innovation space designed for innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry players who want to build, collaborate, and create outside the walls of a university. While i-Labs works from within academic institutions, Thels Campus casts a wider net, welcoming anyone driven to turn ideas into impact.

PhD Metre

A data-driven lens on the African PhD experience.

A recurring report that takes a close look at the PhD experience in Nigeria and Africa. It surveys current and recent doctoral students, interviews key stakeholders, and delivers honest, data-driven recommendations to help HEIs improve their doctoral programmes. More than a report, PhD Metre is a decision-making tool — giving universities, policymakers, and academic leaders the evidence they need to make meaningful improvements, backed by real data rather than assumption.
