The already close ties between the local University and the Stainless Steel Company (ACINOX Las Tunas) were consolidated through a work agreement signed between both entities that will expand the possibilities of more efficiently connecting the investigative work of academics with the problems of this industry, key for the domestic economy.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- The agreement endorses the will of ACINOX Las Tunas to continue being a regular scenario for the realization of more undergraduate and postgraduate studies by researchers of the university, which in turn reiterates its intention that its experts include in the research profiles the requirements of the Company.

"We have many researchers in the productive sector and it is up to the University to look for them, to support them," Yoenia Barbán Sarduy, the first vice-rector of the main center for Higher Education in this province, said.
