Post by Dr. Juliah Muriuki, PhD.

Great connections start with great conversations 💬 In July 2024, we had the pleasure of meeting Ekkehard Class and Lucy Maxwell at the Department of Mining, Materials and Petroleum Engineering, JKUAT. That conversation sparked a promising collaboration with Montanuniversität Leoben 🤝 What followed were engagements with H.E Makoloo Maurice, and Montanuniversität Leoben’s senior leadership — each step proving that partnerships are powerful drivers of progress. 🌍 On 1st August this year, we were delighted to host a delegation from Montanuniversität Leoben at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) led by Clemen Weihs. The visit went beyond formal discussions — it was about friendship, knowledge exchange, and a shared belief that collaboration shapes the future 🌟 and on 4th August we had a networking dinner at the ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Nairobi. 🚀 Grateful to Ekkehard Class, Lucy Maxwell, Makoloo Maurice, Peter Moser,Prof. Holger Ott, Clemens Weihs, Viruschka Tewary, Reza Goldansaz, Andreas Pfleger, Bernard Prof Rop, Akisa Mwangi, Irene Fedha and everyone who made this milestone possible. Together, we are paving the way for innovation, success, and sustainable impact. 💡 #Collaboration #CircularEngineering #GlobalPartnerships #KnowledgeExchange #MiningEducation #Sustainability #CapacityBuilding
