TO BOOST its international linkages, the University of the Philippines Visayas forged a partnership agreement with the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

UPV Chancellor Dr. Clement Camposano and HU-ALS Dr. Csaba Gyuricza signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Academic Cooperation last November 17, 2021.

The cooperation will focus on the exchange of students for study and research; exchange of professors, scholars, and administrators through mutual visits; exchange of information and publication on education and research; and implementation of cooperative education and research.

“The two universities have mutually agreed to cooperate and work together for understanding and leading in strengthening both institutions through identified development activities,” UPV said.

“They also agreed to promote, strengthen and enhance cooperation in the areas of research, education, and faculty development,” it added.

The ambassador of Hungary to the Philippines, Dr. Titanilla Toth and Department of Science and Technology Secretary Fortunato Dela Peña witnessed the signing of the agreement.
