After the inauguration Dr. Susanne Preuschoff, along with colleagues from Ghana-NRW Alliance Universities, had a fruitful networking session with the German Ambassador to Ghana, Daniel Krull, at his residence, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Building on the long-standing partnership between Ghana and NRW, the alliance's mission is to enhance the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experiences through organized events, information dissemination, and project development.

The office in Accra serves as a central point of contact for researchers and students from both regions, providing support, coordination, and opportunities for collaboration. The ultimate goal of the alliance is to strengthen academic cooperation between universities in Ghana and NRW, and to contribute to the advancement of education and research through mutually beneficial partnerships.
