      Outcome and Progress Report
                On this occasion, I visited Africa for the first time. Though it was a short one-week visit, I enjoyed the opportunity of exchanging ideas with Ethiopian professors and students. In addition to that, intensive discussions with ASAFAS students were meaningful as well.
