About Expertise Houses
Based on the mission and vision of ACADEMION International University in enhancing its developmental and cognitive role, and its commitment to actively contribute to serving the local and international community, this regulation comes to organize the work of the expertise houses at the university as one of the main arms that support the university's goals in the fields of scientific research, consulting, training, and community service.
Considering that the university is in an emerging foundational stage, it seeks through this regulation to empower faculty members and researchers to establish specialized expertise houses that carry an innovative and entrepreneurial character, where each expertise house is initiated by a qualified faculty member's personal initiative, to be the nucleus of an academic, research, or consulting project that serves the specialization and the community, and reflects the institutional identity of the university.
This regulation aims to establish an organized framework for creating, operating, and ensuring the sustainability of expertise houses, ensuring optimal utilization of the available competencies and expertise at the university, enhancing its position among universities and academic institutions, and contributing to providing qualitative services with added value at both local and international levels.
