(Photograph: ETH Zurich) - Well-trained, dedicated engineers from Africa will play an increasing role in industrial development in sub-Saharan Africa. This is what has inspired ETH Zurich to join forces with Ashesi University in Ghana and Swiss companies ABB, BarryCallebaut, Bühler, Lafarge-Holcim and Nestlé to co-present a new Master's degree programme. Sustainable development across the globe hinges on the African continent - for nowhere else will population growth be as rapid in the years to come. Qualified engineers are needed -from Africa, for Africa- to promote sustainable patterns of industrial development. Under the ETH for Development (ETH4D) initiative, ETH Zurich together with Ashesi University near Accra in Ghana and a number of industrial partners is now developing a new Master's programme for students from sub-Saharan Africa. Harnessing ideas and expertise.
