On November 10, Prof. Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely, Rector of Semmelweis University, welcomed Prof. Dr. Leonard Azamfirei, Rector of the George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219. Following the professional discussions, the two universities signed a Memorandum of Understanding. The meeting was also attended by Gabriel \u0218opand\u0103, Ambassador of Romania to Hungary, and Dr. Tam\u00e1s Heged\u00fcs, Director of International Relations and Alumni Affairs at Semmelweis University.<\/strong>\"\"During the meeting, the representatives of the university in T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219 highlighted their positive experience with graduates of Semmelweis University who return to Romania to work after completing their studies, and expressed their high regard for the quality of education provided by the University. Currently, 147 Romanian students are studying at Semmelweis University.<\/p>\n

The relationship between the two institutions dates back more than 25 years and now extends across several faculties. The Faculties of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Dentistry, Health Sciences and Medicine are involved in educational and research cooperation, mobility programs and bilateral doctoral training.<\/p>\n

In addition to the programs already in place, the rectors also discussed new opportunities for cooperation. One of the George Emil Palade University\u2019s major developments is a smart university hospital being established following a government decision, with its opening planned for the first half of 2027. In connection with this project, the possibility of developing a joint educational program focusing on the teaching of artificial intelligence was also discussed.<\/p>\n

George Emil Palade University is also planning to launch a public health-focused program similar to the Harvard-Semmelweis program. It is expected to begin as a two-year master\u2019s program, with a bachelor\u2019s program to follow at a later stage. The parties agreed that the strong existing relationship provides a solid foundation for developing further joint educational, research and professional initiatives.<\/p>\n\r\n [slb_exclude]\r\n
