[AISWorld] Doctoral teaching at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia

[Nicola Guarino]

Dear colleague,

	I am interested to participate to this project, giving a course related to ontological analysis and knowledge representation. I have been giving similar PhD courses at the ICT school of the University of Trento, and I think that a teaching experience in Addis Abeba would be very interesting from the personal point of view.

	Please let me know more about this program, and about any information you need to consider my application. 

	Best regards,

Nicola Guarino
