From October 20 to 23, a delegation led by Vice President Hu Yunjin visited Opole University of Technology in Poland for in-depth discussions on inter-university cooperation, joint college development, research cooperation, people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and faculty and student exchanges. The delegation included heads of the School of Civil Engineering, the School of Intelligent Engineering, the Office of Assets, Equipment and Laboratory Management, and the International Office.

The delegation held formal talks with Dr Aneta Kucińska-Landwójtowicz, Vice-Rector for Cooperation, and Dr Anida Stanik-Besler, Vice-Rector for Education. The Polish side welcomed the delegation and recalled the fond memories of its visit to USX in June this year. Hu reviewed the progress of bilateral cooperation and outlined the overall progress of the application for the USX-Opole Joint College, noting that both sides are following due procedures to advance the approval process and follow-up preparation. He thanked the Polish side for its support in material preparation, program review, and communication and coordination. The two sides exchanged views on the joint college, talent development, research cooperation, and faculty and student exchanges. During the talks, a plaque-awarding ceremony was held for an Overseas Lanting Academy of Calligraphy, the 23rd calligraphy academy USX has established abroad.

The delegation also visited the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatic Control and Informatics, where they toured the laboratories and discussed teaching and research, degree programs, joint research platforms and laboratories, joint publications, and faculty and student exchanges with faculty leaders and academics.

    The visit further consolidated the friendly cooperation between the two universities and identified priorities for the next stage. Both sides pledged to continue advancing the joint college, research cooperation, the Lanting Academy of Calligraphy, and faculty and student exchanges, contributing to Sino-Polish educational and cultural exchanges.
