Today, COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI) got the privilege and honor to receive the first inward mobility of year 2019 funded through Erasmus+ program of the European Union. 

The delegation from Istanbul Sehir University, Turkey, is visiting CUI as a partner institution under Erasmus +. The Turkish university has earlier hosted a number of students from CUI and further plans to host more students, faculty and staff in the coming semesters.

The visit is of a week’s duration and will involve interactive meeting sessions at two CUI campuses, i.e. Islamabad & Lahore, with extensive one to one interactions with relevant CUI officials. 

The visit is organized in the broader context of strengthening internationalization efforts at CUI and will therefore boost the professional relationship between the two universities to further facilitate mobilities from both sides.  It is expected that the visit will also open up avenues of networking, exchange of best practices and learning from each other’s experiences in the field of hostel management.  Not to forget, ties between both the countries will also be strengthened.
