From September 30 to October 1, 2025, CEMEREM will be celebrating the Decade of Delivery (CEMEREM at 10) with a landmark international conference hosted by Taita Taveta University, Kenya. This event will etch a new milestone in the bilateral partnership between Kenya and Germany, supported through the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), a globally outstanding scholarship programme.
To be hosted by Taita Taveta University (TTU), Kenya, in collaboration with two partner universities in Germany, TU Bergakademie Freiberg and HTW-Dresden, this year’s conference promises to be bigger, bolder, and more impactful than ever.
Sustainable mining is a contested concept, a paradox to some, a polarising topic to many, and a melting point for political debate in the face of climate change diplomacy with respect to emissions quotas and nationally determined contributions (NDCs). The Kenya Mining Investment Conference and Expo 2024 brought together hundreds of international participants drawn from government, the mining industry, academia, and students from higher education institutions. Read on for insights into the innovative approaches and bold strategies shared during this pivotal event by speakers from Taita Taveta University (TTU).

I invite DAAD alumni, German university graduates, and anyone interested in the intersection of science, sports, and education to register and attend this summit. The connections between my journey—from the FIFA World Cup in 1990 to my predictive models in 2018 and 2022—are a testament to the potential of STEM education in Africa and how to socialise it effectively. STEM education is not just for academics but for games such as football, informing creative approaches to coaching and talent development that tap into real-world experiences. To all football fans, educators, investors, and African sports leaders: let’s converge in Nairobi this October. Let’s make African football the best version of itself, grounded in data, intelligence, and the unyielding passion that the game inspires, shall we?
It can be hypothesised that the new attention-grabbing labour mobility agreement between Germany and Kenya, while offering immediate relief to both countries — Germany’s ageing workforce and Kenya’s youth unemployment crisis — may ultimately hinder Kenya’s long-term development by exacerbating brain drain. However, if properly managed, it could also promote brain circulation, fostering skills transfer and capacity building that benefits both nations in the long run. In the digital age, physical migration is not the only way to labour productivity. For a long time, the DAAD has been a keen advocate of the idea that the Kenyans who have been sponsored to study in Germany return home to build their economy, which is a noble initiative indeed and a key element of the broader concept of brain circulation through skills transfer. Recent suggestions of encouraging the DAAD scholars to stay on and work in Germany has not taken away from the fact that the desired end for them is to return to their home countries eventually and impact the domestic economy, as returning experts.

Remotopia, or remote working, has become a buzzword. In a world becoming increasingly connected through a meshed network of digital spaces, a progressive realisation of the metaverse concept, universities cannot be left behind if they are to produce market-ready graduates for the new borderless knowledge generation and research environment. Proficiency in utilising digital tools to enhance learning outcomes is critical to reaching new heights of excellence for any modern university.
