This collaboration aligns the University’s focus on societal well-being with the Growth Board’s leadership in driving fair economic development in the UK’s dynamic Thames Estuary region.
Recently, Dr Bruce Damons, Amy De Raedt, Oyama Soga, and Sharon Masiza from Mandela University visited the Thames Estuary, further strengthening the collaboration and exchanging ideas for equitable development.
