We actively develop international collaboration and attract best foreign professors to the educational process. We are proud that the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar University, Mr. Ahmed El-Tayeb and the Chairman of the Caucasus Muslims Office, Sheikh-ul-Islam Allahshukur Pashazadeh, are ENU’s Honorary Professors and during their visits read lectures to our students.

We hope that today’s meeting will give a new impetus to the development of cooperation with our university in the field of science, education and culture,” ENU Rector said in his greeting.

In turn, Mohamed Abdel-Salam stressed the important role of universities in the history of modern humanity.  

“Today, the teacher’s mission is not only to teach. The teacher’s responsibility is to engage in science and serve society. The process between knowledge and those who receive it should be based on dialogue,” the Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Elders stressed.

The guest of honor read a lecture to ENU students and answered their questions.

Following the meeting, ENU Rector announced the decision of the Scientific Council of the university to award the title of “Honorary Professor of the L.N. Gumilev ENU” to Mr. Mohamed Abdel-Salam.
