“As a result of the many common challenges humanity faces as we tackle the climate crisis, this kind of academic cooperation is a way to preserve what we all call at home – the planet,” Robin said during ceremony.
This partnership “will create cross-border opportunities for students, faculty and the region as a whole,” Al Kaabi said. “Together, we can lead innovation in food and water security, marine science and environmental sustainability. “
