SHENZHEN, China, March 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Peking University
HSBC Business School (PHBS), the University of
Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS), and Qianhai
Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone of
Shenzhen ("Qianhai") signed a
memorandum of intent (MOI) to jointly advance long-term
collaboration in business and management on March 26, marking the formal launch of a
cooperation project in Shenzhen Qianhai between the two
universities.
Hai Wen, Vice Chairman of Peking
University Council and Dean of Peking University HSBC Business
School; Christoph Loch, Dean of
Cambridge Judge Business School; Ni
Yong, Deputy Director of the Qianhai Administration Bureau, signed
the MOI on behalf of the three parties in an online ceremony.
According to the MOI, PHBS-CJBS cooperation in Qianhai holds
potential including business education, academic research and
entrepreneurship. Qianhai Administration Bureau will actively
provide support for the cooperation, in terms of facilities, funds
and other amenities.
The PHBS-CJBS cooperation in Shenzhen has been developed over a long
period. During University of Cambridge
Vice-Chancellor Stephen Toope's
visit to PKU in March 2019, the two
universities signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly expand
collaboration in such fields as archeology, business, education,
entrepreneurship, linguistics, philosophy, and artificial
intelligence, drawing on such disciplines as environmental science,
medicine, astronomy, physics and humanities. In particular, the two
universities strengthened their cooperation on education and
research in Shenzhen. Also in
2019, PKU President Hao Ping and University of
Cambridge Deputy Vice-Chancellor Sir Mark Welland visited Qianhai.
As the first step of the cooperation, PHBS and CJBS took the
lead in launching two non-degree executive education programmes
focusing on innovation and international management. In the future,
both business schools will leverage their academic strength and the
geographical advantages of the Greater Bay Area, expanding
international higher-education cooperation and research in
Qianhai.
