Affairs and BTYSTE. This agreement seeks to deepen collaboration and
promote knowledge exchange in STEM education between Ireland, Jordan and other
nations.

BTYSTE, has engaged over 3,500 students and teachers across Jordan for the last 3 years, fostering innovation and
empowering youth through STEM. It continues to grow from strength to strength. This
remarkable achievement reflects Jordan’s growing global presence in science and
technology, driven by the dedication of its students and the strength of
