On July 24th, 2025, Universidade Técnica do Atlântico - UTA had the honor of welcoming the distinguished Cape Verdean-Senegalese scientist Dr. Awa Bousso DRAME, PhD, Founder and CEO of the Coast.GIS Research Institute, for an institutional visit.

During her time at UTA, Dr. Drame met with Prof. Dr. Corrine Almeida, Director of the Master's Research Programme on Marine Sciences and Climate Change, and Prof. Dr. António Pinto Almeida, Vice Director of the same program. In this meeting, they discussed the structure and goals of the Master's Research Programme giving Dr. Drame an in-depth look at the curriculum and its alignment with global climate and ocean science priorities, as well as potential academic and scientific collaborations.

Her visit was part of the Ocean4Kids program, held from July 23–25, 2025 an educational initiative that introduced 60 children (ages 6 to 12) to ocean science through interactive activities inspired by the Montessori approach, encouraging scientific curiosity, autonomy, critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork from an early age.

The activities were conducted exclusively in Cape Verdean Creole, focusing on fundamental themes in ocean and geospatial sciences.

Dr. Drame holds degrees from prestigious institutions including Sorbonne Université (France), Columbia University (USA), and University College London (UK), and brings over 9 years of international experience. She was featured in Forbes Africa’s 30 Under 30 – Class of 2023, recognized as one of the continent’s most influential young leaders.

UTA expresses its deep appreciation for this inspiring visit, which strengthens the bridge between science, education, and community engagement.
