September 2025 – The Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), through its Renaissance Strategic Center (RSC), has signed two Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs): one with the Università degli Studi di Torino (UniTo) and another with CIEE INC Amman.
These agreements establish a framework for cooperation in the areas of research, knowledge exchange, and capacity development, with a particular focus on advancing the RSC Internship Program. The partnerships are designed to strengthen collaboration between academic institutions and policy research platforms, contributing to both educational advancement and the production of innovative research.
Through these MoUs, students and researchers from UniTo and CIEE will have the opportunity to participate in structured internships at RSC. The program will provide exposure to policy-oriented research and civic engagement initiatives, while also enabling interns to enhance their knowledge of the region and contribute to the Center’s ongoing projects.
These partnerships, underscore ARDD/RSC, UniTo, and CIEE’s shared commitment to fostering academic-practice linkages, enhancing knowledge production, and supporting the development of the next generation of scholars and practitioners.
