Prof. Mwegoha´s visit to Bonn aimed at expanding the cooperation between the two universities in research and teaching. Central to this was his meeting with University of Bonn Vice-Rector for International Affairs, Prof. Birgit Münch, and members of the International Office of our university. In this meeting, Prof. Detlef Müller-Mahn of the Department of Geography emphasized the importance of the already long-standing cooperation with Mzumbe University for the CRC's research in Tanzania. Furthermore, Mzumbe University and its recently promoted Prof. Theobald Frank Theodory have been partners in innovative teaching formats, where students from Bonn and the African partner university are meeting in hybrid classrooms.
Prof. Mwegoha also used his visit to Bonn to gain insights into the organization of the University of Bonn and the Department of Geography, and to share his expertise with the students of the Masters course ‘Water Governance in Rural Kenya’. He also met the directors of the two leading institutes of development studies in Bonn, Prof. Anna-Katharina Hornidge (IDOS) and Prof. Christian Borgemeister (ZEF).
This week we were delighted to welcome another visit from Tanzania: Lucy Madalla and Niponawe Lutula from our ERASMUS partner universities Sokoine University and Mzumbe University took part in the International Staff Week at the University of Bonn.
