USJ was represented by Dr. Teresa Loong, Vice-Rector, Professor Carlos Sena Caires, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Mr. David Yang, Head of Institutional Development Office, Professor Vincent Ho, Visiting Professor of the Department of Architecture and Design, and Ms. Jenny Mok, Senior Officer of the Domestic Student Recruitment Office.
The meeting began with an opening address by Vice Rector Dr. Teresa Loong and was moderated by Professor Carlos Sena Caires. The discussions focused on workshops and student advancement opportunities. Both parties explored ways to leverage their respective academic strengths to carry out cross-regional and interdisciplinary collaborative projects.
Professor Carlos Sena Caires emphasised USJ’s commitment to promoting internationalised educational experiences, noting that collaboration with higher education institutions in the Greater Bay Area will provide students with broader academic perspectives. He expressed particular excitement about building innovative cross-institutional learning models through multifaceted cooperation. Professor Tang Shuze highlighted that this exchange has established a substantive platform for dialogue between the two universities, especially in promoting faculty and student exchanges and joint curriculum development. He expressed hope that the partnership would foster a two-way exchange mechanism and facilitate the flow of educational resources between the two regions.
