An economic and technological cooperation agreement is in force between Italy and Oman, signed in 1988 in Rome, aimed at promoting the development of bilateral cooperation in the cultural, scientific, economic and technological fields.
Oman is also a beneficiary of the scholarships for foreign students made available each year by the MAECI. Similarly, contributions are made to finance transfers of researchers, professors, experts, personalities and cultural operators invited to spend a period of stay at Italian university or cultural institutions.
Italian experts collaborate, privately or within the framework of institutional agreements, in the country’s cultural and scientific institutions, in particular the Sultan Qaboos University and the Royal Opera House.
