On January 6, Christina Egelund, Danish Minister of Higher Education and Science, visited University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) with representatives from several Danish universities, including University of Copenhagen, University of Southern Denmark, Technical University of Denmark and Copenhagen Business School. WANG Yanfen, Executive Vice President of UCAS, Vice President JIN Depeng, and Vice president LIN Xiao, welcomed the guests at the SDC Building of UCAS.
WANG Yanfen extended a warm welcome on behalf of UCAS and introduced the mechanism of science and education integration, talent cultivation achievements and international cooperation of UCAS. She emphasized that the Sino-Danish centre for Education and Research (SDC) serves as a model of higher education and research cooperation between China and Denmark. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of Denmark’s recognition of the People’s Republic of China and the 15th anniversary of the formal signing of the partnership agreement of SDC, she expressed the hope of transforming SDC into a more extensive collaborative platform.
Christina Egelund was willing to explore ways to enhance China-Denmark cooperation in higher education and scientific research development. She looked forward to exploring both the opportunities and challenges inherent in areas of mutual interest such as green research, climate change, the environment, and global health, where China serves as a crucial partner for Denmark and the international community. As she wrote on the guestbook, “My best wishes for a fruitful future.”
