Prof. Dr. Rado Bohinc, President of EMUNI University, met today with Prof. Dr. Mohamed El-Shinawi, President of Galala University (GU) in Egypt. H.E. Sašo Podlesnik, Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia to Egypt, also participated in the meeting. The meeting focused on strengthening academic cooperation between the two universities and reinforcing the role of EMUNI University as a bridge connecting the shores of the Mediterranean.
Galala University is a full member of the EMUNI Network, and the two institutions have enjoyed a strong and longstanding collaboration. Over the last two years, students from Galala University have actively participated in EMUNI Summer Schools and academic programmes. Most recently, four students from Galala University joined EMUNI through the Erasmus exchange programme, where they followed courses in business, digitalization, and human rights.
The discussions created new opportunities for students and academic exchange between the two countries. A major outcome of the meeting was the agreement that will enable students from Galala University to pursue master’s studies at EMUNI University. These initiatives will further strengthen ties between the institutions.
Both institutions expressed their ambition to further expand these opportunities in the future, enabling more students to benefit from international education and Mediterranean cooperation. The meeting reaffirmed the importance of building bridges between the northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean and empowering younger generations through education, collaboration, and shared values.
EMUNI University remains committed to fostering meaningful partnerships that contribute to a more connected, inclusive, and innovative Mediterranean region.
