Congratulations to University of Oldenburg and Nelson Mandela African Institute for Science and Technology!
DAAD and IUCEA jointly launched a call for tender for a “Centre of Excellence in ICT in East Afrika” for the establishment of a master’s programme in Embedded and Mobile Systems on June 1st, 2017. Applications from four EAC member states in cooperation with universities in Germany had been submitted. A selection committee, formed by experts from Africa and Germany, considered the application of Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science and Technology in cooperation with University of Oldenburg the most promising concept, and approved therefore the support of this project.
The Centre of Excellence shall contribute to reinforcing the teaching and learning capabilities of East African universities in ICT-related fields. It will also foster linkages between universities, the private and public sector as well as civil society. As a result of the cooperation of these stakeholders, employability, employment and entrepreneurship will be strengthened in East Africa.
The heart of the Centre will be a state-of-the-art master programme in “Embedded and Mobile Systems”. The linkage to industry ensures a strong focus on technology transfer, innovation and entrepreneurship. The master programme will be established at Nelson Mandela African Institute for Science and Technology in Arusha, Tanzania.
