The President of Yarmouk University, Prof. Zeidan Kafafi, and the Director of Al-Hussein Bin Talal Library at the University, Dr. Omar Al-Ghoul, met Elke Luch Horn and Geza Heim-Halaiqa of the Office of International Relations at the Free University of Berlin during their visit to Germany. The two sides discussed future cooperation between the two parties and the possibility of signing a cooperation agreement between the two universities in areas of common interests.

Prof. Kafafi stressed the keenness of Yarmouk to strengthen academic and scientific cooperation with German educational and research institutions, especially through its Faculty of Archeology and Anthropology, which has always been linked to a large number of scientific and research cooperation agreements that attracted a number of academics to teach at the faculty and conduct research and scientific projects in various fields of archeology and excavation, taking into consideration that Jordan is rich in archaeological sites. He said that the university administration is keen to encourage faculty members to get international scientific projects and conduct joint research projects with researchers and faculty members in various universities and international institutes worldwide so as to contribute to the exchange of ideas and experiences and enhance the level of scientific research, which is a key element in achieving development in local societies.

In response, Horn and Halaiqa praised the distinguished scientific reputation of Yarmouk University and its keenness to develop and update all academic disciplines. They stressed the importance of concluding a future cooperation agreement between Yarmouk and the Free University of Berlin in areas of common interests, including archeology and anthropology, emphasizing that Yarmouk includes several experts in such fields.
