COLOGNE, Germany – A partnership forged by Ford Philanthropy and the University of Cologne to ensure everyone has access to education, has just celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Together, they have established the “University for Life”, which is backed by a motivated team from various areas of the university that makes education open, fair and attractive.
The team seek to break down social barriers, teach human and professional competences, strengthen networks with partners from society and economy and help to address current challenges such as integration of refugees or the shortage of skilled workers in schools.
This promotes the transfer between society, science and business. The University of Cologne invites schools and other learning venues, non-profit organizations, companies and foundations to get involved and actively shape their network.
