    VivaCell-MTS Invests in Graduate Education of Youth in Armenia


    Yerevan. OREANDA-NEWS . March 12, 2009. The official opening of the
    videoconferencing hall of the American University of Armenia was
    held. The videoconferencing hall was sponsored by VivaCell-MTS.

    VivaCell-MTS has provided AMD 60.6 mln of support for the
    videoconferencing facility, which will be named for VivaCell-MTS.

    The videoconferencing room comprises a set of interactive
    telecommunication technologies which allow students and professors in
    different locations to interact via two-way video and audio
    transmissions simultaneously. Thanks to this innovative technology,
    students and faculty of AUA can benefit from guest lecturers brought
    into a class from another university though videoconference.

    The official launch of the room was marked by the first
    videoconferencing lecture in the new Paramaz Avedisian Building by
    Dr. Michael Thompson from the University of North Carolina at
    Charlotte, for students of the College of Health Sciences.

    Through videoconferencing students can visit another part of the world
    to speak with others which brings opportunities to students and
    faculty from diverse communities and backgrounds to come
    together. Scientists can collaborate with colleagues at other
    universities on a regular basis without loss of time due to travel.

    Bringing Armenia to the world and the world to Armenia is our aim. We
    are responsible for developing highly skilled and flexible human
    capital in Armenia. Application of up-to-date technologies in
    education today is necessary if we want to compete effectively in
    global markets. Nowadays we should be able to think globally. And
    videoconferencing allows students from Armenia and their peers in
    other countries to explore, communicate, analyze and share information
    and ideas with one another, - VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph
    Yirikian mentioned during the official opening.

    The support of VivaCell-MTS for the videoconferencing hall in the
    Universitys brand new state of the art campus building is appreciated
    by the whole University community.

    The VivaCell-MTS commitment to education in Armenia is exemplary and
    demonstrates its direct continued support of the community," said AUA
    President Haroutune Armenian. Support for the videoconferencing
    equipment was provided by USAID in an earlier grant to the University.
