The University of Ghana and McGill University, Canada, have renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), reaffirming a shared commitment to strengthening international cooperation in higher education and research.

The 5-year agreement, signed by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, and the Vice-President (Global Engagement) of McGill University, Prof. Anja Geitmann, is expected to enhance opportunities for joint research, faculty and student exchanges, academic seminars, and collaborative publications.
