What is the Africast podcast?
Africast started as a group project within the scholarship program of the TUM: Junge Akademie. The three students behind this project are Jaimee Lau, Marius Merkle and Patrick Sowinski, all of them students at the Technical University of Munich with different study backgrounds. Currently, a total of seven podcast episodes is planned to be released in 2019. The guests will range from students and academic workers to researchers and professionals from Ghana. Our goal is to raise awareness for academic projects in Ghana and to help people from Germany and Europe to learn more about them. The project was inspired by the TUM Africa Initiative, which aims to strengthen the collaboration between the TUM and different universities in Africa.

In the next episode, we will learn about TU eMpower Africa!
