We are planning some unique student exchanges, faculty visits and research workshops and projects," said the Director.
The current scope of cooperation with these universities range from exchange programmes for faculty, students and scholars, joint research and exchange of research materials, joint academic activities - teaching and supervision of students, joint conferences, workshops, the participation of students in study-abroad programmes.
