Apeejay Stya University has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as a Knowledge Partner with Women 20 (W20). The MoU was signed with the purpose of knowledge partnership between both the parties. ASU and W20 aims to work towards the advancement of the cause of all women across the G20 nations, according to an official release.
The parties intend to organise or participate in the joint events both online and offline. ASU also aims to host sessions, meetings, seminars and round table discussions in conformity with the W20 guidelines to promote gender equity, the release mentioned.
