Upon their arrival they've expressed a special interest AI and Innovation and indeed at the end of their stay, all five said they were much impressed by HIT's approach towards innovation and creativity.

"HIT helped us change our attitude towards science" they say. "At the end, all you need is an idea and some dedicated people in order to exercise innovation. At HIT multidisciplinary approach is a vision and a way of life.
This trip broadened our horizons in many ways. When we return to our country we intend to go to our teachers and university officials and tell them about the new multidisciplinary approach to science that is implemented at HIT and how we think it can be adopted and applied a BSU".
