CHINA'S TOP UNIVERSITY UNLEASHES INNOVATION VITALITY BY GOING INTERNATIONAL

HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 20, 2017 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

On October 21, 2017, Zhejiang University International Campus was officially open. About one year ago, Professor Philip T. Krein, a fellow of the American Academy of Engineering, came to Zhejiang University (ZJU) in China. In this university with the reputation as the "Oriental Cambridge", he got a new title as the full-time dean of the Zhejiang University / University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute (the ZJU-UIUC Institute).

The joint institute was established at ZJU's Haining International Campus. As a new model of transnational education, the institute will provide a world-class engineering education by introducing top curricula and resources from UIUC, complemented with equally significant contributions from ZJU. Located in the Hangzhou Bay, a core area of the Yangtze River Delta region, the International Campus covers a land area of approximately 80 hectares, which also hosts the ZJU-Imperial Joint Lab for Applied Data Science and the ZJU-UoE (University of Edinburgh) Institute, etc. With ambitious planning of the Chinese government to build up the Hangzhou Bay area into an engine for economic innovation, or a Chinese version of San Francisco Bay Area, intense amount of attention has been drawn to this new ZJU campus.
