Rebecca faciltiated a workshop session with MSc students on their research proposals for their dissertations on her first day in Kathmandu.
BU is currently in the process of renewing its MoA with MMIHS, to continue working together after the completion of the Erasmus+ programme. We aim to to maintain the partnership, as the BU-MMIHS collaboration includes various funded and unfunded research projects apart from the Erasmus+ programme.
