Abu Dhabi, Jan 8 (IANS/WAM): The UAE's Emirates Identity Authority (EIDA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Hamdan Bin Mohammed e-University (HBMeU).

The objective is to benefit from e-learning services provided by the university in the fields of professional development, leadership, management and others.

The MoU was signed as both parties wanted to build a solid strategic partnership in support of the UAE Government Strategic Plan and to promote collaboration between government bodies and educational and academic institutions to serve the UAE society.
