Building Successful Partnerships between Museums and Universities

Universities with museum studies, public history, or preservation programs are often looking for opportunities to work with local cultural institutions to help train their students and to reach out into the community. Yet, few institutions have experience with such collaborations. To help bridge this gap Prof. Dr. Ismail Kocayusufoglu, Rector of the University of New York Tirana and Dorian Koci, PhD – Director of National History Museum signed today an agreement of collaboration between the two institutions.

The project aims to maximise the potential for museums and universities to work together to mutually beneficial aims.
