Almost 120 graduates of the Faculties Life Sciences and Technology and Bionics received their certificates during the traditional graduation ceremony.
Prof. Dr. William Megill and Prof. Dr. Peter Simon hosted the ceremony and welcomed 600 guests - some of them couldn't even find a place in the completely filled Audimax but had the option to watch a live stream of the event in another room. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Kisters, Vice President for Research, Transfer and Innovation congratulated the former students on behalf of the presidium. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kai Masuch (faculty of Technology and Bionics) and Prof. Dr. Peter Scholz (Dean of the faculty of Life Sciences) encouraged them to stay in contact with their former university. Read more.
5,000 kilometres lie between the cool lecture halls in Kleve and the tropical heat of Cotonou. For 23 students from Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, this distance became a journey into a new reality: for twelve days, they swapped theory for practice, visited modern textile factories and traditional royal courts – and experienced what happens when you not only study development, but feel it. 
From 13 to 17 October, 21 students from six countries, including a delegation from the Faculty of Life Sciences at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, explored the city as a laboratory for sustainable behaviour – accompanied by lecturers from UCLy/ESQESE and in cooperation with the ONLYLYON tourism brand. The task: to design concrete, easily implementable ‘green nudges’ for more responsible urban and city tourism.
