SMU and Howest University hold partnership meeting

Saint Mary’s University welcomed six partners from Howest University of Applied Sciences (Belgium) in a partnership meeting at the University Boardroom on Nov. 11, 2024. Howest University is one of SMU’s active partners in the European Region. Together, SMU and Howest have an active collaboration in information technology, applied computer science, business management, teacher training, and entrepreneurship. 

 

The students and staff/faculty of both universities have engaged in several inbound and outbound exchanges since 2018, the recent of which was funded by Erasmus+. With the success of the first batch of SMU exchange students and staff/faculty last year, additional slots under the Erasmus+KA 171 scholarship framework were again granted to SMU to fund the international study of eight Marians at Howest University in the next three years. SMU maintains its commitment to its strategic direction of ensuring its global presence through international linkages. With the support and presence of SMU’s top management, deans, heads, and staff who made the partnership meeting a success, we are excited about future possibilities.
