Dr G.R. Kiran addressed OBREAL Global General Assembly at University of Barcelona.

Barcelona : Dr G.R. Kiran , Dean of Middle East College and Vice-President of OBREAL Global addressed the dignitaries and partner members at its General Assembly, today at the historic building of the University of Barcelona.

OBREAL Global has transformed over the past years from an association that primarily promotes European Union-Latin America cooperation in higher education and research, to one with a broader inter-regional mandate and membership scope, committed to strengthening South-South- North cooperation within and between regions.

2020/21 has been a busy time period, whereby, in the midst of a global pandemic, OBREAL Global has consolidated ‘Chapters’ in South America, Central America, the Caribbean, India and Africa, each of which is driven by membership and has shaped its own needs and priorities. In the midst of this, OBREAL Global has taken steps to promote inter-regional dialogue and exchange on key topics of common interest, ranging from the internationalisation of learning, digitalisation, international research management and the role of universities in local development.

Dr. G.R, Kiran is also serving as the Patron of Education in Santhigiri Advisory committee.
