Prof. Eduard Yakubov, President of HIT, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Addis Ababa Science and Technology University (AASTU) in Ethiopia. The MOU outlines collaboration in scientific research, focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its implementation in teaching and learning. It also covers knowledge exchange and collaboration in the field of nanotechnology, as well as student and academic staff exchanges.

“There are numerous parallel fields in which both institutions are engaged,” said HIT’s President. “Collaboration in the areas of AI and nanotechnology—two prominent fields at HIT—will further strengthen our efforts, and as always, we are happy to open our doors to academic and research partners from around the world.”

Regarding certificate studies, the agreement includes exploring collaboration opportunities in IT, Agri-tech, and Food-tech.

The MOU signing, which took place via Zoom, was attended by H.E. Ambassador Tesfaye Yetayeh, the Ethiopian Ambassador to Israel. 

Representing AASTU at the event were:
