PhD Education

The Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) has awarded a research grant to further develop a Community of Learning for African PhD fellows. In collaboration with the United Nations University and Maastricht University, Dr. Martin Rehm will work on this project at the Learning Lab. The aim is to build upon the already successfully established project CoLA (Community of Learning for Africa) and expand the services and learning opportunities for PhD fellows and supervisors from African universities.

The paper "Community of Learning for Africa (CoLA) – Connecting Young Researchers from Africa and Europe" has been accepted at the 10th International Conference on ICT for Development, Education & Training (eLearning Africa), which will be held from May 20 - 22 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The paper is authored by Martin Rehm and Mindel van de Laar (United Nations University & Maastricht Graduate School of Governance).
