University Departments Professors Industry Representatives Graduates Academic Publications KNOWLEDGE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS Students Professors Knowledge is the driving force of innovation and one of the key elements of ROIC. It is mainly created by the Academia, which ensures the permanent presence of the Intellectual Capacity (students, professors, researchers) in the ROIC. The main component of the collaboration with the Academia will be hosting university departments and faculties at ROIC. Under this collaboration model, some departments of leading Armenian universities will be physically located at ROIC. All academic courses and research initiatives will be organized by ROIC professionals and all the ROIC facilities and lab infrastructure will be available for this purpose. Despite the fact that chosen departments will be hosted at ROIC, students will still be the graduates of partner universities. The curriculum development, decisions on faculty hiring processes and overall management will be fully within the competence of ROIC. The salaries of hired professionals and all faculty members will be covered by ROIC. KEY STAKEHOLDERS Government Universities Professors Research centers Students
