Toronto Metropolitan University and the University of the Western Cape Sign MOU for Academic Collaboration
A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the University of Western Cape (UWC) and Toronto Metropolitan University to promote research support and exchanges in migration and mobilities.
In January 2024, Prof Vivienne Lawack, Deputy Vice Chancellor- Academic at UWC, signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the University of Western Cape (UWC) and Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto, Canada to promote research support and exchanges in migration and mobilities. The MoU builds on an earlier agreement to enhance collaborations in Zone Learning.
The enhanced MoU grows out of project collaborations and participation of UWC on the Canadian SSHRC-funded partnership project, “Urban Sanctuary, Migrant Solidarity and Hospitality in Global Perspective,” directed by Prof Harald Bauder, Professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Toronto Metropolitan University. The institutions agree to work toward project-based collaborative research activities, organisation of joint events, and academic staff mobility.
