Jordan and Syria Teamed Up for a Campus Collab at University of Jordan
The University of Jordan got a little extra buzz on October 14, 2025, as it welcomed a high-profile Syrian delegation led by Marwan Al-Halabi, Syria’s Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research. The visit was all about exploring new ways to team up on academic projects and share some serious brainpower between the two countries.
Talks focused on tech and teamwork
University President Nathir Obeidat and his crew—including Vice Presidents and heads of quality assurance—sat down with the Syrian delegation to chat about everything from joint research to the latest in digital learning. The spotlight was on developing tech-driven programs, modernizing curricula, and bringing artificial intelligence into the classroom. Obeidat highlighted the university’s open-door policy for collaboration, mentioning cool projects like the History of the Levant program with Damascus University. The hope? To make academic ties even stronger.
