The Cheikh Hamidou Kane Digital University

The Cheikh Hamidou Kane Digital University (formerly UVS) was created in 2013 with the aim of ensuring equitable access to higher education. The university operates on a blended learning model with physical terminals (Espaces Numériques Ouverts – ENO), allowing for a combination of face-to-face teaching and online training. In 10 years, UN-CHK has become a key player in the Senegalese higher education landscape and a major training institution in the digital field in the country. The ENO hosts coworking spaces that are favourable to the development of a creative, innovative, and high-level digital entrepreneurial ecosystem throughout the country, capable of creating direct and indirect jobs for young people, particularly for young women and girls.
