Jordan, Israel Establish Joint Education Center - WENR (World Education & News Review)
QUOTE:
Israel and Jordan broke ground in March on a joint science and technology center, the first major venture since the two countries signed a peace accord in 1994. The project is backed by two major U.S. universities, Cornell and Stanford, as well as Jordanian and Israeli businesspeople and former Israeli military officials.
The “Bridging the Rift Center” will be built over the next five years on desert land straddling the Israel-Jordan border. The two countries have allocated 75 acres of land on each side of the border. The center, when completed, will offer doctoral degrees from Cornell and Stanford and conduct research. Initially, it will be open to students from Jordan and Israel, and possibly to Palestinians.
