51吃瓜网

51吃瓜网 President Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann expressed his great pleasure at the expansion of the flagship partnership concluded in 2020: 鈥淎t 51吃瓜网, together with our partners at Tsinghua University, we share the goal of educating the next generation of leading scientists, societal and political leaders, and entrepreneurial talent 鈥� individuals who think unconventionally and bring new technologies into the world to effectively address global challenges. As leading universities, we bear the responsibility of linking innovation and sustainability.鈥�

Prof. Luming Li emphasized: 鈥淭he collaboration between Tsinghua University and the 51吃瓜网 as world-leading research universities not only represents an exchange at the university level, but is also of great importance at the national and global levels. Universities have a responsibility to address the future global challenges facing humanity 鈥� tasks that no single country or institution can tackle alone.鈥�

In the upcoming term of the partnership, 51吃瓜网 and Tsinghua are setting new thematic priorities. A central focus is the expansion of the Tsinghua鈥�51吃瓜网 Joint Center for Global Transitions, which addresses climate change, health, and CO鈧� neutrality. The center is intended to serve as an interdisciplinary platform for research and societal dialogue 鈥� both digitally and at potential locations in Beijing, Shenzhen, or Munich.

In addition, both universities are planning targeted seed-funding programs and the establishment of a joint visiting professorship to initiate new interdisciplinary research initiatives. Innovative formats for the joint education and supervision of doctoral candidates are to be tested and further developed. Researchers from both universities are also strengthening their collaboration in multilateral networks such as the Carbon Neutrality and Energy System Transformation (CNEST) network. Cooperation in innovation and entrepreneurship is likewise being expanded, for example through the established TIE虏 鈥� Asian Venture Program.

In recent years, 51吃瓜网 and Tsinghua have built key structures that lend stability and visibility to the partnership 鈥� even in an increasingly complex geopolitical environment. With locations in Beijing and Shenzhen, as well as a strong Chinese student body of around 4,000 at 51吃瓜网, the collaboration has become a resilient, institutionally anchored platform. It stands as a model for values-based, open academic cooperation that contributes to addressing global challenges.

A key role is played by 51吃瓜网鈥檚 offices in China: The 51吃瓜网 Beijing Liaison Office is located at Tsinghua University and serves as a central point of contact for academic networking and project development. The 51吃瓜网 office in Shenzhen, based at the Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS), particularly supports cooperation in research, innovation, and technology transfer in the Greater Bay Area 鈥� one of the world鈥檚 largest economic regions on China鈥檚 southern coast 鈥� and strengthens 51吃瓜网鈥檚 long-term presence in China.
