On Monday, 10th of January 2022, the EPU Rector Assistant for Scientific Affairs in his office received the International SPARK Organization General Manager and his delegation.
In this meeting, the Quality Assurance Director, Mr. Kamal Muhammad Abdulla, and the Cultural Relations Unit Asst. Prof. Dr. Abdullah Omer Yasin was present. The Rector Assistant talked about the EPU’s Relationship with the SPARK International Organization. He highly evaluated the support our university receives from this international organization from signing a memorandum of Understanding with them in 2019 till now.
Meanwhile, SPARK expressed their appreciation for the support and collaboration they gained during their work with the EPU. They implemented many activities together such as instruments’ purchase, enhancing education programs in Marketing, English language, and AutoCAD. They side by side performed internship programs for the students to enable them to work with the companies in which SPARK financially supported them to continue.
In this event, both sides mentioned some projects and ideas to implement in the future, like supporting the EPU to implement Bologna Process, building relationships, and links between our university and international universities. Even after completing their works in Kurdistan, our university can stand steel in continuously developing projects. Another point of the meeting was our university’s suggestion to gain funds from European Union through the SPARK international Organization to conduct training courses in writing proposals and projects.
It is worth mentioning that both parties recently work on Innovation Lab Program that offers grant funding to social safety net providers to research or plan projects, develop proof-of-concept ideas, or pilot new projects or service delivery models.
