YSMU highly appreciates the partnership formed with the Keron Foundation, considering it an important and significant example of the development of the educational environment. The new library created as a result of this cooperation is not just a collection of books or a reading room; it has been formed as a modern student environment, where knowledge, creative thinking, and professional progress are promoted. We are confident that this collaboration will contribute not only to the development and increase of competitiveness of medical education, but also to the formation of scientific interests, independent thinking and professional responsibility of future doctors, in line with the requirements of modern education.

Co-founder and lead architect, DVDP

PETER DEFESCHE

Since 2024, DVDP Architecture and Urbanism has collaborated with the Keron Foundation, beginning with the YSMU Library project. From the outset, Keron has been an ambitious, values-driven partner whose commitment to strengthening Armenian society through cultural, educational, and social initiatives we deeply share. Our cooperation has been marked by mutual trust, openness, and a shared vision for the role of architecture in shaping society, growing quickly beyond a purely professional relationship. DVDP greatly admires Keron’ s role in Armenia and looks forward to sustaining this meaningful partnership for years to come.
