Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the Aga Khan University (AKU) have signed an agreement to facilitate joint research, faculty and student exchanges and collaborations between the two institutions that address pressing global issues, such as climate change and environmental sustainability. There are longstanding connections between the universities. AKU-s Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations and SFU-s Centre for Comparative Muslim Studies have offered jointly-run summer courses, and students from AKU and SFU have completed virtual internships at each other's campuses. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in Burnaby by SFU President and Vice Chancellor Joy Johnson and AKU President Sulaiman Shahabuddin envisions a broader partnership, allowing for a range of cooperative endeavours. -This partnership with the Aga Khan University will allow both institutions to build on our shared values as we work together to tackle some of humanity's most pressing challenges,- says SFU President Joy Johnson. -I know that AKU does incredible work and I am excited about the opportunities that students, faculty and staff will have to learn with and from the community there.
