The Namibia University of Technology and Science (NUST) satellite campus at Luderitz is set to become the green hydrogen research hub. 

Professor Samuel John, Green Hydrogen Research Coordinator for NUST, said this in an interview with nbc News.

Professor John says planning in partnership with the RheinMain University of Applied Science in Germany has already started to transform the NUST satellite campus into a green hydrogen research hub. 

School learners and students in Windhoek were encouraged to believe in their potential as future leaders and to explore career opportunities that may open them to a better future. 

These were the words of encouragement shared by the Chief Executive Officer at Cenored, Fessor Mbango, during the annual NUST Career Fair.

Mbango says the career fair provides a platform for skill display and connection among students and faculty staff, as well as different corporate organisations and government agencies. 

The National Commission on Research, Science, and Technology (NCRST), in conjunction with the Namibian University of Technology (NUST), is hosting a hackathon event. 

The event brought together local and international innovators, researchers, students, and developers with the shared goal of reducing road accidents through technological advancements.

Namibia, like other countries, is faced with a public health concern over road accidents that rob nations of productive citizens.

The Programme Manager of the TVET Conference, Jerry Beukes, has expressed concern over the private and public technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions not embracing new technology and innovation.

Beukes said this at the opening of the week-long GIZ Pro TVET Conference in Windhoek on Monday.

Beukes says it is sad that the Namibian TVET context still requires developing first-revolution lower-skilled occupational trades such as welders and boilermakers.

A Career Fair at Rosh Pinah, aimed at providing opportunities to learners and the youth at the mining town to help them make informed decisions about career choices, was described as a success.

The event is a collaborative effort between RoshSkor Township, schools in Rosh Pinah, and institutions of higher learning.

Professionals and lecturers from UNAM and NUST engaged learners on their current career choices, while learners had the opportunity to pose questions during the one-day mini-career fair.

The City of Windhoek (CoW) has launched the Ebike4Windhoek pilot project as part of its effort to reduce carbon emissions and increase transport options. Non-motorised transport has an important role to play in reducing carbon dioxide emissions and greening the economy in the context of providing and promoting more sustainable transport options.

The India-Namibia Centre of Excellence in Information and Technology has been inaugurated at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST).

The centre aims to uphold the highest standards of education by fostering research and engaging with the community.

The centre is Namibia's response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and aligns with the Harambee Prosperity Plan, aiming to ensure that no one is left behind.

It is based on a longstanding relationship between the two countries and aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation.

Quality customer care is vital for the survival of any tourism business.

It's against this background that the Namibia Wildlife Resort and the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) signed a cooperation agreement to improve the quality of service delivery and customer care services.

The agreement was signed in Windhoek.

At the signing, the Vice-Chancellor of NUST pointed out that improving service delivery for the tourism sector will go a long way in helping the sector recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Namibia University of Science and Technology has responded to allegations of maladministration made against the university and its Vice Chancellor Dr. Erold Naomab.

The allegations stem from three letters written to the institution's council and to the Minister of Higher Education, Innovation and Technology and circulating on social media. 

One of the letters was authored by NAPWU while two more were delivered anonymously.

Over 90 Namibian students received scholarships to study various related courses in the green hydrogen industry, availed through grant funding from Germany.

Sixty awardees will undertake Master's Degree courses, while 30 will undertake their studies at the local Vocational Training Centres.

The awarding ceremony took place at the State House.

The scholarships are part of the Namibian Youth for Green Hydrogen Scholarship Programme and attracted 1 128 applicants after the applications were opened in March last year.
