Jundi Shapur allowed teachers and students from different cultures to share ideas.

In the excerpt from "Sugar Changed the World," by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos, the authors make reference to an important school in Iran after the school of Athens closed in the year 529. As a consequence, Greek, Jew, Christian and Persian scholars gathered there to share their knowledge and beliefs, which lead to the creation of the first teaching hospital and observatory.

Besides, the text mentions that "At Jundi Shapur the best scholars west of China all gathered to think and study together," which reinforces the idea that it was a significant meeting place for the best academics in the world.
