Dr. Deibar René Hurtado Herrera, Rector of the University of Cauca, emphasized that the memorandum signed with the University of Dunaújváros confirms the commitment of the institution, which has been operating for almost two hundred years, to the strengthening of international scientific and cultural relations.

Dr. István András, the Rector of the University of Dunaújváros, also emphasized the importance of cooperation, trusting that many Colombian students and teachers will take the opportunity to visit Hungary, thus expanding their knowledge and experience. It also encourages Hungarian students and researchers to travel to Colombia to broaden their professional knowledge.

Among the goals of the cooperation is the development of student and faculty exchange programs, which enable members of both universities to increase their knowledge in an international environment. Furthermore, through joint research projects, researchers from the two institutions will be able to work together on topics that are relevant to both countries.
