The successful online Kick-Off Meeting of our new BfN funded Project ” Earth Observation in Africa: Capacity building for the conservation of ecosystems and their services (EOCap4Africa)” took place at 22th November 2023. It was a very lively and interactive meeting and we are all very exited about the upcoming project years!

The meeting was attended by all four African partner institutions, namely the University of Botswana in Gaborone/Maun (Botswana), the Institute of Applied Science in Ruhengeri /INES; Rwanda), the University of Kinshasa (DR Congo), and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi (Ghana), our German associated partner at Martin-Luther-University of Halle/Wittenberg, the funder the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (Bundesamt für Naturschutz, BfN) and the EOR Cluster at University Würzburg.
