Ajou University recently began discussing possible future collaboration with the United Arab Emirates (UAE)’s Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) over hydrogen energy and AI.

             

On February 3, Ajou President Park Hyung-ju held a video conference with ENEC’s CEO Mohamed Al Hammadi to discuss collaboration.

             

Of particular interest was cooperation over key areas of future industries, such as artificial intelligence, hydrogen energy, and industrial mathematics.

             

CEO Al Hammadi received an honorary engineering doctorate from Ajou in 2019.

             

Since he assumed leadership over ENEC in 2007, Al Hammadi has been crucial in the development of a peaceful nuclear energy program in the UAE and facilitating friendship between the UAE and Korea, in recognition of which the honorary degree was awarded.

             

The CEO spoke of plans to stop by Ajou on his next visit to Korea to specify the terms of cooperation he discussed with President Park.
