Some of our current visiting scientists from West Africa took the opportunity to talk to festival visitors about their current work and their experiences in Germany in the university tent at the Africa Festival in Würzburg. Adamou Aisssatou Sitta (Niger), Aliou Gadiaga (Burkina Faso) and Ousmane Badji (Senegal) gained valuable insights into communicating their research interests to a non-academic audience over the four days of the festival. They were accompanied by our EALGE student Jean de Dieu Tuyizere (Rwanda), who presented and discussed a remote sensing-based analysis of the Vulcano National Park in Rwanda.
