Dr. Bassem Kaissi represented MUBS in the Kick-off meeting of the Program for Excellence Academy Cooperation Exchange 2 (Peace II) Erasmus Mundus Lot 2 project which was hosted by the university of Santiago De Compostela (Spain) on October 10 and 11, 2013. PEACE II is an Erasmus Mundus project aiming at:

  • Developing further collaboration among the European Union and Middle east institutions for sending and hosting mobility of talented students and staff.
  • Enhancing capacity, transparency and employability as well as skills and qualifications of institutions and individuals.

The PEACE II project promotes 156 flows of students and staff (to and from the EU) in a collaborative framework which includes a balanced representation of 10 universities from the Middle East (3 in Palestine, 2 in Lebanon, 1 in Syria, and 4 in Jordan) and another group of 10 from Europe (Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, and United Kingdom).
