Universities have the unique opportunity to leverage this universal stage to inspire global unity and foster partnerships through.”
Notably, Woxsen University is committed to supporting talent not just in emerging, high-growth areas like artificial intelligence but also in fostering holistic development and creating career opportunities in fields like sports.
