Enhanced cooperation will be explored in the following areas:
- Courses of study
- research activities
- Training and development opportunities for doctoral students
- Student exchange and/or visit programmes
- exchange of information, including the results of teaching and research cooperation
- all other activities considered beneficial to both parties
