We are proud to already have a strong partnership with TU Dresden, formalized through an existing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Building on this foundation, several key areas for further collaboration were identified, including the development of joint degree programs, student and faculty exchange programs, and joint academic courses and workshops. Both institutions are committed to enhancing these collaborative efforts, which will strengthen research capabilities and provide valuable international exposure for our students and faculty.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Firas Aljanabi for his visit and for sharing his expertise with our students and faculty. We look forward to continuing and expanding our partnership with TU Dresden and the ABCD Centre.
