February 13, 2017 Category Science & technology, Weekly
The University of Cambridge has established two partnerships in China, the first of their kind in the university’s more than 800-year history. It signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Qingdao and Shandong University. The University of Cambridge aims to take advantage of its research strength to help facilitate technology transfer and encourage entrepreneurship in China. “We will set up a team in Qingdao and share our experience and knowledge to help businesses innovate and thrive, improve the university campus and support the city’s development,” said Tony Raven, Chief Executive of Cambridge Enterprise. The company was established in 2006 to support members of the university in licensing their inventions, providing consultancy services, and creating companies based on university research. To date, 28 universities and institutions have decided to establish new campuses, or build branches or co-developed facilities in Qingdao. Shandong University, in Jinan, last year opened a new campus in North Qingdao, where high-tech industries and marine sectors have been growing quickly, the Shanghai Daily reports.
