Côte d'Ivoire's Félix Houphouët-Boigny University explores cooperation with New York graduate school
Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny is exploring possible cooperation with HJ International Graduate School for Peace and Public Leadership, a New York-based school that its president received in an audience.
Why it matters: Universities considering ties with specialised graduate schools abroad can note that UFHB opened this contact at presidential level, with cooperation still at an exploratory stage.
Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny (UFHB) said it is exploring new opportunities for cooperation with HJ International Graduate School for Peace and Public Leadership.
According to UFHB, the graduate school is based in New York, in the United States.
The university reported that the graduate school was received in an audience by the president of UFHB.

The talks directly concern UFHB and the New York-based HJ International Graduate School for Peace and Public Leadership. Because UFHB describes the contact as an exploration of opportunities, any concrete commitments for either institution would depend on whether the two sides move on to a formal agreement.
