This winter semester, we had the pleasure of hosting the second cohort of eight ERASMUS+ scholars from Ghana, Rwanda, and South Africa. As their semester at our university comes to an end, we are delighted to celebrate their achievements and bid them a warm farewell.
During their stay, the scholars participated in our EAGLE MSc program and the GEOSPHERES MSc program at the Institute of Geography and Geology. Beyond their academic work, they acquired an impressive set of new skills that will support their future careers in applied environmental science and geospatial technologies. Among the competencies they developed were:
- Remote Sensing of Urban Areas
- Active Remote Sensing Systems
- Earth Observation Cloud Computing
Their commitment to learning and their enthusiasm in tackling complex global challenges greatly enriched our academic community. Working with them has been inspiring, and their presence contributed to a truly international and collaborative learning atmosphere.
The attached photo shows our scholars Joyce Acquah Nyaadu, Wisdom Narh Osabutey (both Koforidua Technical University, Ghana), Mahlobo Luyanda, Ntokozo Ratikla, Sonja De Beer (all North-West University, South Africa), Jean Baptiste Maniragaba and Cynthia Yankurije (both INES Ruhengeri, Rwanda) together with Michael Thiel who is their ERASMUS+ coordinator. One face missing from the picture is Fiifi Turkson from KNUST (Ghana).
As we say goodbye, we do so with sincere appreciation for their contributions and with confidence in their bright futures. We hope that the knowledge, skills, and networks they gained during their time with us will support them in their future professional journeys. We wish them every success and look forward to staying connected.
