The American College of Greece (ACG) and Omnigen have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), establishing a strategic partnership that will strengthen collaboration in biomedical education, research, and professional development.
Through this partnership, students enrolled in the Biomedical Sciences programs of the School of Science and Technology at Deree will have the opportunity to undertake internship placements within Omnigen’s departments and functions, gaining valuable hands-on experience in research, medical, laboratory, pharmaceutical, and related healthcare services.
Working alongside Omnigen’s scientific staff, students will gain firsthand exposure to both individual and team-based professional activities while developing a deeper understanding of the services provided to beneficiaries and the wider healthcare community. Internship experiences may include participation in activities related to the development, approval, distribution, education, and promotion of healthcare and biomedical services, as well as opportunities to observe diagnostic assessments, individual consultations, and other professional practices.
The partnership will also provide students with access to educational and professional development programs designed to enhance their knowledge, skills, and readiness for careers in healthcare and the life sciences. In addition, students will benefit from lectures, workshops, and masterclass series jointly organized by Deree and Omnigen, bringing together faculty members, scientific professionals, and industry experts to share expertise and insights into emerging developments in the field.
Beyond student placements, Omnigen will contribute, on a voluntary basis, as an external collaborator in selected thesis and capstone project evaluation committees, further strengthening the connection between academic study and professional practice. The two institutions will also collaborate to support research, innovation, and education in Biomedical Sciences, while working together to raise public awareness of healthcare services and promote health education initiatives.
Reflecting the shared commitment of both organizations to academic excellence, scientific advancement, and experiential learning, the partnership creates meaningful opportunities for students to apply their academic knowledge in real-world settings while preparing the next generation of healthcare and life sciences professionals to make a positive impact on society.
