The official in charge of the Erasmus+ office at the University of Galati (Romania) praised the training held by the center, especially the “University Administration and Leadership” program, which is the program that qualifies for the position of dean of a faculty or institute in Egyptian universities, and also the “sign language” program for employees of the Egyptian National Postal Authority within the presidential initiative to integrate people with special needs. And she expressed her aspiration to transfer these experiences to Galati University in Romania.

This visit came within the agenda of exchange visits to the university’s international relations and academic cooperation sector, the training and development center, some of the university’s faculties, and the ZaffranMuseum within the framework of the joint Erasmus+ agreement between the two universities.
