CPUT has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with one of the world’s oldest universities – the University of Toulouse, France (UT).
The partnership was cemented recently when a delegation from UT, including Prof Didier Marty-Dessus, Vice-Rector for International Relations, visited the Bellville campus.
Among other things, the partnership will encourage collaboration between researchers from the two institutions as well as student exchange, mainly in the Faculty of Engineering.
“The MOU that we are signing today covers all the aspects that we certainly value in terms of where we want to move to as an institution in terms of research, in terms of teaching and learning and in terms of staff and student exchanges,” said Prof Marshall Sheldon, acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Research, Technology, Innovation and Partnerships.
Prof René Pellissier, CPUT’s Director of Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships, thanked the delegation and said CPUT was honoured by their visit to the institution.
