The 34th EAIE Annual Conference and Exhibition, themed “En Route!”, included seminars, workshops, roundtable discussions, project negotiations, and exhibitions, attracting over 255 educational institutions from more than 90 countries and regions, with over 7,000 educators attending.

Dr. Minking Chyu and the delegation actively participated in discussions, exchanged experiences, and shared the achievements of Sichuan University – Pittsburgh Institute in international cooperative education and talent development over the past decade, receiving high attention and praise from the participants.

During the visit to INP, the delegation was warmly received by the school’s leadership, international office, and relevant professors from the engineering college. Both sides had in-depth discussions on collaborative master’s and doctoral programs, summer camps, university-industry cooperation, and visited the school’s laboratories, engaging in close dialogues with international students.

This visit not only deepened mutual understanding between SCUPI and INP, but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation. Both sides will continue to maintain close contact and actively promote the implementation of various cooperation projects.

Over the past decade, with its outstanding teaching quality, rich international resources, and advanced educational concepts, SCUPI has provided students with broad development space and opportunities for growth, achieving significant results in talent cultivation. At the same time, it has actively cooperated with well-known foreign universities and enterprises to continuously enhance the institute’s international influence and the global competitiveness of its graduates.

This visit to Toulouse, France, marks another important step for SCUPI on the path of international cooperation. The institute will continue to steadily advance in cultivating versatile talents with international competitiveness and innovation capabilities.
