Ottawa, February 5, 2020 - The University of Havana and Carleton University in Ottawa signed a Memorandum of Understanding in the Canadian capital that will allow to expand the collaborative relations between the two centres of higher education.
Previously signed by the rector of the University of Havana, Miriam Nicado, the Memorandum was signed this Wednesday by the president of Carleton University, Benoit-Antoine Bacon, and by the Cuban ambassador to Canada, Josefina Vidal Ferreiro, in a ceremony specially organized for the occasion.
This agreement will contribute to relaunch the relations of the Cuban university with its Canadian counterpart and, in particular, to develop a course for Carleton students, organized by the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO) of the Havana entity.
The links between the two universities date back to the 90s, when an Academic Collaboration Agreement was signed which led to important exchanges in social sciences, economics and accounting.
