Collaborations between the University of Turin and Westminster Business School are long established, and the latest MoU signing marks the institutions’ intention to widen and deepen the areas of their joint work. The MoU serves as an agreement to improve the mobility of colleagues and students and enable students to complete their studies at Westminster and other areas of mutual interest.
Dr Karen Jackson, Assistant Head of the School of Organisations, Economy and Society, alongside Dr Panos Hahamis, Senior Lecturer from the School of Applied Management, met with colleagues from the University of Turin in Italy on 24 March.
