Collaboration in Sino-German Academic Network

CUHK recently joined the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich's (LMU Munich) China Academic Network (LMU-ChAN) as an Anchor Partner. LMU Munich is a public research university in Germany. It is one of the oldest and largest universities in Germany, and among the top three in the country according to various league tables. This move will propel the University's joint teaching and research efforts with this leading university in Germany, as well as provide opportunities to engage in multi-lateral partnerships involving other Anchor Partners, including Peking University, Fudan University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Prof. Wong Suk-ying (right), Associate Vice-President, attended the annual forum of the Network held at LMU Munich from 27 to 29 October. CUHK had a major presence in the event with a 17-member delegation, comprising researchers from medicine, English, journalism and communication, and geography and resource management. CUHK's delegates showcased their research strengths, exchanged ideas, explored joint work and discussed plans during the forum. Professor Wong took the opportunity to meet with the University's leadership and academics, including Prof. Hans van Ess (left), Vice President for International Affairs.
