The NUACA Rector Gagik Galstyan greeted students and lecturers stressing the importance of working visits established already on a strong basis of collaboration. Rector Galstyan noticed that during these years and within the frames of collaboration the number of exchange programs for the lecturers and more than 90 students is a serious claim for strengthening and fostering the collaboration and its perspectives. Rector also emphasized the importance of French Saint Etienne National Higher Architectural School’s Director Jacque Port’s visit to our University on March 30.

The multilingual and multinational students will not hinder the working process, as the common working language among them will be the architecture according to French Saint Etienne National Higher Architectural School’s lecturer Andre Solne.

Those solutions well be converted into draft plans and be submitted for joint discussions.
