This is the second time I am taking part in Tropentag it offers a great avenue for networking with professionals in different fields of research. I never miss the keynote sessions at Tropentag because I get to hear from senior academicians on various topics. I enjoy reading the news posted on the blog of Tropentag as well. Each year I find young and enthusiastic researchers registering and making presentations at the conference, this I find very encouraging. The presence of organisation such as GIZ at Tropentag offers me the chance to interact with them for possible research collaboration and job opportunities. Through Tropentag I have been able to link up with professionals in Geography and have together come out with a proposal for a PhD research. Last year I was a student reporter at the Tropentag at Bonn, this year I am a PhD student registered at the University of Bonn. This can only happen at a conference like Tropentag. I was appointed as a Tropentag student reporter last year where I received training in online journalism. I can now post research findings on a blog in a way to catch the attention of internet users.
