UEC Signs Memorandum of Understanding for Student Exchange with Denmark’s Roskilde University
On Thursday, November 21, 2024, UEC and Roskilde University signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for student exchange. This milestone builds on the comprehensive agreement signed on January 1, 2023, which has fostered active research collaborations. Notably, Visiting Associate Professor Go Yuasa (Office for International Strategy) has been working with Roskilde University on integrating and visualizing traffic volume and air quality data to advance smart city initiatives.
Through ongoing discussions between Visiting Associate Professor Yuasa and Roskilde University faculty, the concept of student exchange developed naturally, culminating in the signing of this MoU.
Founded in 1972, Roskilde University is one of Denmark's eight national universities and is distinguished by its innovative approach to education. Emphasizing group work and project-based learning over traditional lecture formats, the university encourages active discussion and collaboration. Situated just 30 minutes by train from Copenhagen, Roskilde is one of Denmark's oldest cities, with a population of approximately 53,000 and a welcoming, study-friendly environment.
This new MoU is set to strengthen ties between the two institutions, providing exciting opportunities for UEC students to engage in international exchange and broaden their academic and cultural horizons.
