This agreement reflects a shared commitment by both institutions to consolidate inter-institutional ties, exchange expertise and align scientific research with the country’s economic, social and environmental development goals.
The event also marked the signing of ten (10) specific cooperation agreements between the NESEC and various universities and research institutions operating under the Ministry’s purview, a step highlighting the growing synergy among key operators in higher education, research and training.
From both training and practical standpoint, these agreements establish a platform for launching high-quality and specialized training programs designed to enhance the skills and capabilities of students, researchers and personnel directly involved in the joint projects.
