Speaking at the official opening of the Lüderitz Campus, Professor Katjavivi said the campus will offer courses with a strategic focus on emerging sectors such as green hydrogen and the oil and gas industry. 

“The decision to open this campus in Lüderitz was made as far back as 2009, inspired by our national development goals and supported by various government interventions,” he said.

“It aligns with Namibia’s strategic focus on harnessing the potential of emerging sectors such as green hydrogen and the oil and gas industry. Over the past 15 years, the government has invested more than N$100 million in this initiative, a testament to our collective commitment to bridging educational gaps and promoting equitable opportunities throughout our nation,” Professor Katjavivi added. 

He further explained that the Lüderitz Campus is envisioned as a hub for advanced scientific study and technological collaboration, providing students with access to cutting-edge facilities and resources.

He said the campus aims to empower individuals and local communities by nurturing critical thinking and practical skills essential for driving sustainable development.

“These fields are pivotal for sustainable development and economic resilience, providing our students with the tools they need to contribute significantly to Namibia’s progress. The theme for today’s launch, “Lens of the Future,” symbolises NUST’s forward-looking approach and its commitment to fostering a sustainable and innovative future,” he said. 

The Chancellor stressed that the campus is a catalyst for educational empowerment, positively impacting the Lüderitz region and beyond.

He said that the university’s management was already building international partnerships, which included collaborations with the Hydrogen Lab at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences, the Leibniz Institute for New Materials, and the Material Testing Institute at Hochschule of Applied Science in Germany. 

“Furthermore, this campus will serve as a center for research and community engagement. It will foster partnerships between academia, industry, and local communities, advancing projects that address both local and national needs. This holistic approach ensures that the research conducted here is not only groundbreaking but also practical and scalable,” he said.
