Here are a few major areas where we envisage collaboration that we will provide for free and without tuition fees, as we are a social and non-profit institute.Â
Social Entrepreneurship: By integrating our knowledge in social entrepreneurship, we can enable students and researchers to develop and implement long-term solutions to social problems. Together, we can raise a new generation of socially responsible leaders.
Â
Health Tourism: Using ECIPH’s renowned medical and healthcare programs, we see the potential to partner on projects that encourage health tourism & other public health learnings. This collaboration has the potential to accelerate research, information exchange, and the development of sustainable healthcare practices for both local and worldwide communities.
Â
Sustainable Practices: As the world faces environmental issues fuelled by climate change, we hope to support research and projects targeted at incorporating sustainable practices into many industries. Together, we can help to create a more resilient and environmentally sustainable future.
Â
UN Development Goals: Our shared commitment to the United Nations’ development goals lays a solid platform for collaboration. We may actively contribute to these aims by collaborating on projects such as research, education, and community outreach.

We are ready to hold a meeting for the first time to discuss potential collaboration opportunities and how our organizations might complement one another’s capabilities.
