As part of the agreement, the two institutions will perform joint research projects, organize scientific conferences, take part in joint international projects and programs, and exchange scientific staff and students.

“Our agreement with Precarpathian is a first among several anticipated,” said Peri. “Manor College intends to be the American hub for the Ukrainian university collaboration in the United States.”

He added that both institutions also agreed to go beyond the scope of the agreement and introduce each other to possible future partners in the U.S., the Ukraine and around the world.

“It’s not just a win for both of us, but a win for all institutions who inform that they wish to join us.”
