The EU TUMO Convergence Center for Engineering and Applied Science is a state-of-the-art STEM ecosystem in Yerevan, Armenia. A hub for research, education, and startups geared towards university students and young professionals, the center will bring together partners, both local and international, to bridge the gap between higher education and industry in Armenia. This mixed-use campus will bring together academia and industry, linking local students, researchers, and technologists to each other and with their global peers, and by doing so will foster innovation and entrepreneurship.
