RPTU & Rwanda đ: 20 years of successful student exchange partnership đ€

On 6 June 2025, RPTU held a ceremonial event to commemorate the 20-year partnership with Rwanda in the field of student exchange.
High-ranking guests and program partners were invited to RPTU in Kaiserslautern in order to honour the successful binational cooperation, among them representatives of the Ministry of Science and Health and the State Chancellery Rhineland-Palatinate.
An outstanding representative of the exchange program, RPTU alumnus, Emmanuel Hakizimana, contributed to the festive event with an inspiring key note speech in which he illustrated his path from exchange program student towards his todayâs position as founder in the Rwandan start-up szene.
The long lasting binational partnership between RPTU & Rwanda started in the year 2005 with a first group of exange students and has brought about 200 Rwandan students to Rhineland-Palatinate to date. Since 2004, RPTU maintains a strategic partnership with the Kigali Institute of Science and Technology in Rwanda which underlines RPTUâs focus on international cooperation and lived internationalization.
