Taita Taveta University – Voi, Kenya

TU Bergakademie Freiberg – Freiberg, Germany
The CEMEREM project, established as a consortium of Taita Taveta University (TTU) in Kenya, University of Applied Sciences Dresden (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Dresden (HTWD) and TU Bergakademie Freiberg (TU BAF) was launched in May of 2016. The project seeks to establish a DAAD African Centre of Excellence for education on Mining, Environmental Engineering and Resource Management in Partnership between Kenya and Germany. CEMEREM’s overarching objective consists in a contribution to a sustainable development of the natural resources sector in Kenya and East Africa.
Kenya is rich in natural resources, including minerals like soda ash, fluorspar, titanium, diatomite, zircon, and gemstones. At the same time, Kenya confronts environmental challenges due to rapid urbanization, industrialization, and resource exploitation. Sustainable development in the resources sector is one of the emphasis of the Kenyan government within the Kenya Vision 2030. Moreover, Kenya serves as a strategic hub in East Africa, bridging the region with the global community economically, politically, logistically, and culturally. The demand for skilled professionals in mining, environmental engineering, and resource management is growing not only in Kenya but also throughout the broader region.
CEMEREM aims to address this need by delivering high-quality education and training. The centre also promotes sustainability through collaboration with government, industry, and local communities
As contributions to project outcomes related to education for students in the fields of mining and environmental engineering, until 2023, the following study programmes were completely established and accredited within the planned timeline:
