A delegation from ParisTech, the Alliance of the Most Prestigious Graduate Schools in Engineering and Science in France, visited KNUST through arrangements with the International Programmes Office (IPO-KNUST). Hosted by College of Science (CoS), a seminar was organized at the Allotey Auditorium-CoS on 21st January, 2020. The Seminar was chaired by Prof. F.K.N. Arthur and also present was Kevin Lemesle, Head of Campus France-KNUST.

The ParisTech Team (led by Dr. Florence Lelait) presented to the audience of staff and postgraduate students/Teaching Assistants (from College of Science, College of Engineering and College of Agriculture and Natural Resources-KNUST) on opportunities for collaboration in academia and research. The presentation highlighted on the recruitment of International students in preferred areas, specifically in Science, Engineering and Agriculture. The team encouraged everyone present to grab the opportunity to benefit from an internationally recognized, tailored education.
