A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperation and Exchange in the Field of Philosophy between Sun Yat-sen University and University of Saint Joseph was signed on 10 April, 2026.
The signing ceremony for the “Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperation and Exchange in the Field of Philosophy between Sun Yat-sen University and University of Saint Joseph” was held at Sun Yat-sen University, on 10 April, 2026.
Prof. Zhang Wei, Chair of the Department of Philosophy of Sun Yat-sen University, and Prof. Cyril Law, Dean of the Faculty of Religious Studies and Philosophy (FRSP) of University of Saint Joseph, jointly signed the agreement.
In their remarks, Prof. Zhang and Prof. Law introduced the current status, distinctive features, and future plans of their respective departments, and expressed their hope for further cooperation and exchange between the two institutions.
Following the signing ceremony, faculty members from both institutions held a roundtable forum on “Early Modern Western Philosophy and Religion,” discussing topics such as free will in early modern Western philosophy and religion, as well as how philosophy can address the challenges posed by modern intellectual trends. Three FRSP professors, Prof. Law, Prof. Thomas Cai, and Prof. Martin Bai, participated in the forum discussions and shared their research findings. The forum helped the faculty members from both sides gain a better understanding of each other’s research interests and laid the groundwork for future collaboration.
