Following its engagement with MQA, KUUB continued its strategic outreach with a courtesy visit and discussion on 15 April 2025 at the International Science, Technology and Innovation Centre for South-South Cooperation under the auspices of UNESCO (ISTIC).
The session aimed to introduce KUUB’s mission and explore long-term collaborative opportunities in science, technology, and innovation across South-South regions.
A key highlight was the proposal to co-organise a Research Transition & Leadership (RTL) Workshop for Mid-Career Researchers during the upcoming PEHEIC–CEISU–KUUB International Convention 2025, scheduled for August 2025.
ISTIC leadership expressed their full support for KUUB’s establishment and welcomed the prospect of meaningful collaboration.
