In the world today, everyone is in need of interaction with others in order to achieve better results. One of these interacting ways is the signing of memoranda between the educational & research centers.

In order to activate such potentials, the SBUMS  has signed many memoranda and contracts with the international educational and academic centers around the globe. Moreover, it has been able to introduce itself and its potentials to others as well. Among such memoranda, conducting joint research projects, having exchange student programs in graduate levels, providing sabbatical leaves, and lab facilities, as well as holding joint conferences are worthy of mentioning.

The management section of the SBUMS  Office in International Affairs offers its readiness for facilitating and providing suitable grounds for signing national & international memoranda, so that both sides would benefit from each other’s capacities and potentials.
