- Professor Aleksandra Łukaszewicz, President of Polskie Towarzystwo Estetyczne (Polish Society for Aesthetics)
Professor John Geoffrey Mugubi, summarizes the visit in such a way:
“Poland and Kenya may sit on distant maps, but scholarship has its own geography.
Today at the Doctoral School of the University of Szczecin, we held conversations on partnerships in doctoral training, research mobility, scholarships,
and collaborative academic futures between the University of Szczecin and Kenyatta University.
Sometimes the most important journeys are not made by airplanes, but by ideas finding new homes across continents.”
Thank you for being with US! We hope for future fruitful cooperation with Kenyatta University in mobility programs and common lectures for our PhD Students.
