Rector Jun Liu to join International Forum to explore Future Cooperation among Higher Education Institutions

Rector of City University of Macau, Prof. Jun Liu, will join as a guest speaker in the international forum organised by The Chronicle of Higher Education (based in the United States) and Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (short as APAIE). The forum will kick off via online format on 4 November at 5 am (Macao time).

The forum themed at “The Future of Global Partnerships” invites high officials and leaders from higher education institutions all over the world to exchange insights on cooperation. Guests will carry out discussions with focuses on the following topics:

• Will the health crisis and other issues lead to fewer, but deeper, partnerships between universities?
• Will student flows, which were already changing prior to the pandemic, change where there is interest in developing ties?
• How will joint-degree programs offered by partner institutions change as a result of remote learning, including the development of fully online models, consortia, and hybrid programs?

Rector Liu will propose new models and perspectives for future cooperation among universities worldwide during the virtual event. Acting as the representative for higher education institutions in Asia at the forum, Rector Liu will elaborate his points in line with features and trends of global exchange and cooperation among universities in China.

The guests participating in the virtual forum also include Prof. Joanna Regulska, Dean of Global Affairs at University of California at Davis in the United States; Prof. Sarah Todd, Vice President (Global) at Griffith University in Australia and President of APAIE; Prof. Michael Wesley, Deputy Vice-Chancellor International at University of Melbourne in Australia.

It is a valuable opportunity to take part in a high-end international forum. CityU Macau invites all teaching members, students, and people from all walks of life to join the forum and learn more about future cooperation among higher education institutions worldwide. We are looking forward to seeing you at the virtual event.
