On the afternoon of June 24, Professor Emanuele Tondi, Vice Rector of the University of Camerino, and Marta Aureli, Head of International Affairs, visited China Jiliang University (CJLU) for in-depth discussions on areas such as the jointly established master's program in Resources and Environment and scientific cooperation in environmental and geological research. Vice President Wang Binrui warmly received the delegation in Meeting Room A216 of the Mingde Building. The meeting was also attended by representatives from the College of Energy Environment and Safety Engineering and the International Office.
At the meeting, Vice President Wang extended a warm welcome to Vice Rector Tondi and his delegation on behalf of the university and provided a brief overview of CJLU's overall development and internationalization efforts. He noted that the approval of the jointly established master's program in Resources and Environment represents an important milestone in advancing Sino-foreign cooperative education and cultivating high-level international talent. It also marks a new breakthrough in CJLU's internationalization achievements. He expressed hope that this visit would further strengthen the partnership between the two universities and that the project would serve as a bridge to promote broader collaboration, including the joint establishment of laboratories, co-application for international research projects, and the hosting of bilateral academic conferences. These efforts aim to build a high-level international platform for learning and research for faculty and students of both universities.
Vice Rector Tondi conveyed warm greetings from the Rector of the University of Camerino and spoke highly of the positive outcomes achieved through cooperation between the two universities. He emphasized that the University of Camerino attaches great importance to collaboration with Chinese universities. The jointly established master's program in Resources and Environment is the university's first master's-level cooperative education initiative in China and is of milestone significance. As resources and the environment are global concerns, he expressed the hope that this program would serve as a new starting point to further expand scientific cooperation and talent development, promote deeper integration in areas of shared strength, and contribute wisdom and strength to global sustainable development.
During the visit, the delegation toured the laboratories of the College of Energy Environment and Safety Engineering and the Metrology Museum, gaining a deeper understanding of CJLU's distinctive features in laboratory teaching, research platforms, and cultural development. The two sides also held detailed discussions on the curriculum design, faculty development, summer school, and student exchange aspects of the master's program. Both agreed to accelerate the alignment of the curriculum system, refine the project implementation plan, and work together to cultivate high-level international talent.
This visit laid a solid foundation for further expanding the scope, enriching the content, and enhancing the level of cooperation between the two universities. It also provided new opportunities for exploring innovative cooperation models in China-Italy higher education exchange. Both sides agreed to use this exchange as an opportunity to further consolidate mutual trust, deepen friendship, and promote cooperation outcomes that will benefit more faculty and students while contributing to the development of education and cultural exchange between the two countries.
