The parties have agreed to cooperate in the improvement of the education of students and academic teachers in the fields of computer science, electronics, and communications technology.
Among the potential areas of collaboration between the University and Intel, opportunities such as student internships, workshops, lectures, and study visits led by Intel experts were highlighted, along with joint research and development projects and events such as careers fairs and hackathons. The agreement also foresees other forms of cooperation, including the exchange or lending of equipment or computer programs.
The newly established cooperation is important not only within the context of the development of the Faculty of Computer Science, founded in 2004, but also for the education of future GMU students, who during the internships are often already looking for employment opportunities at international IT companies.
