The Yerevan State University (YSU) and the "Sophia Antipolis" French
University signed a memorandum on cooperation in the field of science
and education. This agreement is not a usual one and it is of great
importance to YSU, provost of YSU on science policies and
international cooperation Samvel Harutiunian said at the ceremony of
signing.
"We have signed moiré than a hundred agreements with various
scientific and educational centers, but only 40 of them are ongoing.
In this case, we hope for full cooperation as both sides are
interested in it," Harutiunian said. He also pointed out that an
Armenian delegation headed by the YSU rector Aram Simonian is to leave
for Nice in 2008 to sign a practical agreement on the cooperation.
"Certain departments and laboratories to cooperate with, as well as
heads of certain programs will be determined. I believe our
cooperation will be useful for both universities, as YSU does not
yield to many of the world's universities in respect of scientific
potential, the provost said.
According to him, the cooperation with "Sophia Antipolis" University
will allow YSU completing the European integration process faster.
The Mayor of Nice, Senator of the Alps-Maritime Department Jacques
Peyrat also attached importance to the signing of the agreement.
"We stepped into an era where knowledge and ability to exchange it are
the drives of the economy. And this is the primary obligation of
universities. We hope for productive cooperation with you, especially
in astrophysics, which always has been on a high level in Armenia,"
Peyrat said. N.V.
