As part of the continued development of international cooperation, the leadership of the Center for International Programs held an important meeting with representatives of the Institute of International Education (IIE) and a consortium of leading American universities.
The CIP leadership presented the international programs administered by the center to the American delegation.
Key representatives of the IIE attended the meeting, including Sylvia Jones, Director of the International Partnership Center; Athena Louisa Lao, Program Development Manager; Joel Erickson, and others.
During the meeting, prospects for cooperation in the areas of research internships, master's, and doctoral studies through the Bolashak program were discussed, including the inclusion of some universities in the Bolashak program list for academic training and research internships, as well as other initiatives.
Particular attention was given to the fact that the IIE actively conducts webinars with the participation of American universities. In the near future, the Center for International Programs will take part in one of these webinars, which will further strengthen cooperation and inform potential applicants about available opportunities.
"We are pleased to support the Center for International Programs in streamlining the application process for research internships. Our experts will prepare detailed guidelines that will help candidates better navigate the requirements and procedures.
