‘We want to better rationalize our relations with the universities of excellence in Germany…’
Prof. Roger Tsafack Nanfosso, VC, University of Dschang/ […] Our presence at the University of Cologne is a logical consequence of a partnership that we initiated two years ago with the visit of a delegation from your university to Dschang, from the 27th September to the 02nd October 2015.

It must above all be better organized and better monitored, according to clear programs and objectives which draw from our development strategies. The University of Cologne and the University of Dschang are places where this offensive and collective dynamic university cooperation will be tested […]
