Professor Rocky Tuan, Vice-Chancellor and President of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), was invited to participate in the Global University Presidents’ Forum on 19 May for the 120th Anniversary Celebration of Nanjing University (NJU). The Forum themed “Inherit to Innovate, Change to Lead: New Paradigms and Missions of Universities” gathered Presidents from 41 universities across the globe to discuss on the missions and future of higher education. Participants joined two sessions of “New Opportunities and Missions for Talent Training in the New Era” and “Innovative Development of Research Collaboration and Social Services”, to exchange views on the challenges and vision of universities.
CUHK and NJU has been in close partnership since 1994 in a wide range of collaborative projects including research collaboration and student exchange programme. Both universities joined hands to build the joint scoliosis research center in 2006 with the aim of promoting research development and talent nurturing as China’s first research unit in scoliosis. Prof. Tuan sent a video message in February this year to congratulate NJU on its 120th anniversary and hoped that the two universities would continue joint efforts to promote the further development of higher education.
