Carlos Uribe first set his sights on Germany after participating in a radio program when he was at school. “After reading countless studies of the effects of climate change and environmental degradation, I wanted to study something where I could actively contribute to its solution,” he recalls.

He was especially fond of the SLUB and the institutes in Tharandt. As a regional ambassador, he spreads the word in Colombia about the various student opportunities at TUD, and helps out at any local university fairs.
