We mediated collaboration of the West Bohemia University in Pilsen with the university UGANC in Guinea

Technicallyours o.s. mediated the establishment of cooperation between the University of West Bohemia (UWB) and Gamal Abdel Nasser University of Conakry (UGANC). Vice-rector of UWB, Ladislav Čepička, signed a cooperation agreement in April 13, 2016.

The aim is to build on very good relations that previously existed between the Republic of Guinea and Czechoslovakia. Agreement on cooperation should be the basis for education of Guinean students in areas that are crucial for the country. It is mainly in the engineering and medical fields. In parallel ongoing negotiations are held with prospective employers from Africa and Czech investors, who are already cooperating with Guinea, or want their activities aimed to expand the country. The cooperation is also open to students and teachers, for example through study and research programs and internships.
