“Future Rural Africa” taking part in the panel for evaluating the excellence strategy of the University of Bonn

“Future Rural Africa” played a prominent role in the presentation of the University of Bonn to a panel of international experts in the evaluation of the University´s proposal for the excellence strategy on 18-19 February 2019. The evaluation included a poster session where this picture was taken. The highlights of the CRC-TRR 228 were seen in its interdisciplinary project design, the transdisciplinary approach together with partners in Africa, the focus on the future and how it is made, and the way how the cooperation between Bonn and Cologne combines complementary key profile areas at the two universities.
