Innovative Solutions and Technologies Center

The ISTC serves students and university faculty, providing them with the latest hardware and software for training and research. Since the project's launch, the ISTC has already assisted over 100 professors from nine major Armenian universities to improve their training courses, with more than 1500 students trained through 30 modernized curricula. Several new Master-degree programs in cutting edge technological areas have also been designed with local universities and will be launched in the next academic year. Several new ISTC initiatives were announced, including the launch of the Joint Research Grant Program targeted towards the development of the R&D capacity of RA HEIs. Within the scope of the Program the grantees will have full access to the IBM cloud infrastructure, as well as will receive financial and research commercialization support. A new program targeted towards the exchange programs between US and RA universities was also communicated.
