The Rector of the University of Montenegro, Prof. Dr. Vladimir Božović, met today with H.E. Leyde E. Rodríguez Hernández, the non-resident Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to Montenegro. This marks the ambassador’s first visit to the Rectorate of the University in Podgorica.

Discussions during the meeting revolved around establishing collaboration between the University of Montenegro and Cuban higher education institutions. Rector Božović highlighted the leading role of the University of Montenegro in the country’s education and science sectors and its membership in the prestigious European university network Ulysseus. He emphasized that this membership opens doors to broadening international cooperation, including connections with Cuban universities.

The meeting, also attended by Vice-Rector for Internationalization Prof. Dr. Sanja Peković and Vice-Rector for Teaching Prof. Dr. Veselin Mićanović, underscored the University’s commitment to internationalization. Particular focus was placed on developing English-language study programs and fostering partnerships beyond Europe.

Ambassador Rodríguez Hernández expressed appreciation for the University’s comprehensive approach and noted the potential for collaboration with Cuban institutions renowned for their academic excellence. He explained the decentralized nature of Cuba’s higher education system, with institutions specializing in specific fields. For instance, the University of Havana is focused on social and natural sciences, while areas like medicine and technical studies are covered by independent institutions nationwide.

The meeting explored concrete initiatives, such as academic staff and student exchanges, joint research projects, and visits to research centers. Both parties agreed to consider formalizing future collaboration through legal frameworks to facilitate joint activities. This meeting marks the first step toward deeper ties and cooperation, creating opportunities for academic exchange and mutual growth.
