Koforidua Technical University (KTU) is proud to announce the appointment of Prof. Richard Arthur, the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering as the DAAD Research Ambassador for the Eastern Region of Ghana from 2025 to 2027.

The formal appointment was made during a prestigious ceremony held in Accra on Monday, May 26, 2025. The ceremony was honoured by the presence of Honorable Haruna Iddrisu, the Minister of Education, who commended the DAAD’s commitment to strengthening academic collaboration across the sub-region.

The DAAD Research Ambassador initiative is a distinguished program that recognizes accomplished scholars who have conducted research in Germany and are passionate about promoting German research opportunities.

As an ambassador, Prof. Arthur will serve a two (2)-year term, as a liaison between the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) and the academic community in Ghana, particularly in the Eastern Region.

In his role, Prof. Arthur will raise awareness among students, academics, and researchers about the vast opportunities for research in Germany, including avenues for project funding, academic exchange, and international collaboration. He will also support peers and institutions in initiating research partnerships with German counterparts.

This appointment follows Prof. Arthur’s participation in a DAAD Research Ambassadors Training Workshop held on Friday, April 25, 2025, in Accra. The intensive, full-day event brought together around twelve (12) selected participants from Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon, all of whom have a history of research engagement in Germany.

As the DAAD Research Ambassador based at Koforidua Technical University (KTU), Prof. Arthur will serve as a central figure in facilitating academic exchange and research cooperation between the University and German institutions.

His appointment not only highlights his personal academic achievements but also marks an important milestone in ongoing efforts to internationalise research and academic collaboration in the University.

Koforidua Technical University has achieved a remarkable milestone, as its ICT Director was honored with the Legend Award at the World CIO 200 Summit 2025 – Ghana Edition, held on May 20, 2025, at Alisa Hotel, North Ridge.

The Legend Award, the highest at the summit, was conferred by the Global CIO Forum Committee in recognition of the Director’s exceptional contributions to technological advancement and organizational excellence. This honor reflects not only individual achievement but the collective efforts of the ICT Directorate in driving digital transformation within the university.

The event, themed “Dawn of a New Decade,” brought together leading IT professionals, industry pioneers, and changemakers for engaging workshops, thought-provoking keynotes, panel discussions, and knowledge-sharing sessions. Awards were presented in four categories—Next-Gen, Leader, Master, and the most distinguished Legend Award—which our ICT Director was privileged to receive.

Speaking on this achievement, Director Opoku Debrah expressed gratitude for the support and collaboration within the university community. He emphasized that the award is a shared success, underscoring the institution’s commitment to innovation and technological excellence.

This recognition reinforces the university’s status as a hub for digital transformation and forward-thinking leadership. As the ICT Directorate explores new technologies and solutions, this award serves as motivation to enhance digital infrastructure and create impactful tech-driven opportunities for the university and beyond.
