In an effort to enhance international research and promote global scholarship, Brock University has signed an agreement with Kateb University in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
Senior officials from both institutions met on Brock\u2019s campus this spring to discuss and formalize the partnership through a memorandum of understanding.<\/p>\n
Established in 2007, Kateb University is a non-profit private institution located in the urban setting of Kabul, Afghanistan. The university has an annual enrolment of under 4,000 students and notable Faculties in political science, economics, medicine, education, sociology and computer science.<\/p>\n
Striving to be an educational leader and top research producer in its region, Kateb is investing in the research capacity and knowledge of its faculty through the Brock agreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an honour to provide institutional colleagues with the opportunity to further their research,\u201d said Tom Dunk, Brock\u2019s Interim Provost and Vice-President, Academic. \u201cEducation is universal and providing the world with access to higher learning opportunities is the best path to peace and prosperity in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
The agreement supports Brock\u2019s strategic mandate of promoting internationalization, fostering excellence in research, scholarship and creativity while supporting the University\u2019s student-centered focus.<\/p>\n
