This second FFM is also funded by the "DAAD" (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst = German Academic Exchange Service) and serves to prepare two new university cooperations with the University of Yaoundé 1 and Cape Coast. Prof. Martin is accompanied by her doctoral student Ms Rebecca Dengler (English Dep't). Mr Nico Hillah (Informatics Dep't) will accompany us in Ghana.
#PHKarlsruhe & #UniversityofYaounde1 are also currently preparing a new university cooperation.
