Signing a memorandum of cooperation with the Network for Humanitarian Action International (NOHA)

NOHA is an association of universities worldwide aiming to enhance professionalism in humanitarian work through education and training, research and publications, and projects. Currently, the network has 12 partner universities in Europe and 8 partners globally. In the context of international humanitarian issues playing an increasingly prominent role in international relations, NOHA aims to expand its network to other regions of the world, such as Southeast Asia, through collaboration with partner institutions like the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.

Through this cooperation agreement, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and NOHA will establish a mutually beneficial relationship based on academic, scientific, and cultural collaboration. Areas of cooperation between NOHA and the University include student and faculty exchange, researcher exchange, provision of courses on humanitarian action, and joint collaboration in publishing, academic activities, and research projects.

The specific activities that the two parties will undertake include: i. Exchanging faculty and/or researchers to provide courses and realize research projects agreed upon by both parties; ii. Exchanging students at the master's level and above with the goal of attracting students to courses suitable to their level and field of research; iii. Exchanging books, scientific publications, research programs, academic projects, course information, seminars, workshops, and any information of mutual benefit; iv. Developing joint research projects; v. Developing joint master's programs; vi. Realizing all joint activities through a formal cooperation agreement and the common terms and obligations of the partners.

The validity period of the memorandum of agreement will be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
