During the meeting with the AEMG delegation, Ge Shirong reflected on theCUMTB's successful history of collaboration with AEMG. He expressed the hope that AEMG would leverage the strong connections between the group and the Australian higher education sectorto establish a collaborative platform between our university and top Australian institutions in areas such as clean energy utilization, intelligent manufacturing, artificial intelligence and big data. This collaborative effort aims to advance discipline development and talent cultivation in relevant fields at the university.
The leaders of AEMG responded enthusiastically and proposed a collaborative model known as“1+N”, featuring multiple universities, various levels and high-level cooperation. They suggested establishing collaboration between our university and several prestigious Australian institutions, including Australian National University and University of Western Australia. The envisioned collaboration would involve jointly establishing Sino-Australian institutions in the mentioned fields, covering both undergraduate and graduate education as well as research cooperation.
After the delegation from University of Western Australia arrived at theuniversity, Professor Jennifer Howell, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Global Engagement) initiated a lecture in Room 234 of theMinzuBuilding, providing an overview of the academic and research landscape at University of Western Australia. Following the lecture, she actively participated in the ensuing discussion.
