As part of the Bonn–Cape Coast town twinning programme, a delegation from the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly (Ghana) visited Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS) on 8 September 2025. Prof. Dr. Teena Hassan, Vice President for International Affairs and Digitalisation, welcomed George Justice Arthur, Mayor of Cape Coast, together with Asumah Adam Braimah (Coordinating Director) and Kenneth Yao Ketor (Planning Officer) to the Sankt Augustin campus. Verena Schwarte took part in the exchange on behalf of the City of Bonn.

Prof. Hassan welcomed the delegation at our Campus in Sankt Augustin. Afterwards Paulina Hinz from the International Office reported on H-BRS' international profil and the strategic partnership with the University of Cape Coast (UCC). Dr Oghenekome Umuerri, research fellow, and Daniel Seibert from the Language Centre also contributed their perspectives and provided insights into current projects, existing collaborations and new ideas for cooperation. The visit concluded with a campus tour and a joint lunch, which provided an opportunity for in-depth discussions.

Against the backdrop of the strategic partnership with UCC, which was officially concluded last year as part of the TOFI project and is based on many years of steadily growing cooperation, this visit was of particular significance. H-BRS would like to express its sincere thanks for the exchange and looks forward to further expanding its cooperation with the city of Cape Coast and the University of Cape Coast. Strengthening relations between cities and universities is a key concern for our university.
