UOIT signs agreement with France’s Université de Bretagne-Sud

The Faculty of Business and Information Technology (FBIT) at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology continues to strengthen its international ties with the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding with the Université de Bretagne-Sud (UBS) in South Brittany, France.

The signing renews the UOIT-UBS partnership that began in 2010 with bilateral exchange under the Cross-Atlantic Partnership in Network Systems and Information Management (CAMIM) project  as part of the Canada-European Union Program for Co-operation in Higher Education, Training, and Youth.

“The Faculty of Business and Information Technology has an expanding international presence and offers a growing number of international opportunities for students,” said Dr. Pamela Ritchie, FBIT Dean. “Mobility under this project has been very successful and FBIT looks forward to a continued partnership with the Université de Bretagne-Sud.”

On the day of the MOU signing, UOIT and FBIT hosted Prof. Jean Peeters, UBS President, and his colleagues Prof. Philippe Le Masson and Mme. Michèle Raphalen for a day long visit at UOIT’s north Oshawa location. The guests toured UOIT’s state-of-the art research facilities including the Automotive Centre of Excellence, FBIT’s Virtual Reality Cave and the FBIT Laboratory for Games and Media Entertainment Research (GAMER Lab).
