The Economic and Trade Office of the Spanish Embassy in Muscat in collaboration with Eduespaña, the Spanish Association responsible of promoting international education in Spain since 1996, organised a visit by leading Omani universities to Spain recently.
Also taking part in the visit were leading institutions from various GCC and MENA countries. From Oman, Sultan Qaboos University, Scientific College of Design and Middle East College participated in the trip.
During the one-week-programme, the visitors were hosted by the Spanish National Institute to Promote External Trade (ICEX) where a number of presentations were made introducing ICEX and its role in stimulating cooperation with other countries, particularly through Trade Offices worldwide. The participants also visited different educational Spanish institutions interested in exporting their know-how and programmes to other countries.
Trips were also organised to the Valladolid, Pamplona and Santander regions of Spain, where the participants visited the campuses of different Spanish universities and discussed with them means of future cooperation.
“The main goal of these educational meetings is to settle a first step towards a better understating of programmes and courses offered by the Spanish Educational Institutions for students, as well as to establish a link and a vehicle of communication that could boost cooperation existing programmes and/or develop new ones,” the Economic and Trade Office Spanish Embassy said in a statement.
