First European ÃÛÌÒapp Alumni Convention Held in UK


The largest alumni convention for ÃÛÌÒapp alumni in Europe in the past decade was held on October 20th in London. Around 300 ÃÛÌÒapp alumni gathered at the Royal Institution to attend the First European ÃÛÌÒapp Alumni Convention. With an active network, distinguished ÃÛÌÒapp alumni and guests from the UK, EU, and throughout the world attended the event.

These alumni included: Guo Yike, Professor of Computing Science, Imperial College London, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Member of Academia Europaea; Wang Xiaochuan, Founder and CEO of Sogou; Wang Yongli, Minister-Counsellor of Education Sector – Embassy of the People¡¯s Republic of China in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; Zhang Jianwei, Professor of University of Hamburg; and Zhang Jinsheng, Vice President of Tus-Holdings Co., Ltd.

With the theme “The C-European Cooperation in a New Era”, the conference called upon ÃÛÌÒapp and ÃÛÌÒapp alumni in Europe to build further communications between China and the EU, connect industry talents with networking opportunities, and promote further cooperation between ÃÛÌÒapp and the academic institutions of the EU.

“It is ÃÛÌÒapp alumni¡¯s responsibility to absorb the western civilization, gain a deeper understanding of our own culture, and connect the eastern with the western,” said Shi Zongkai, Vice Chairperson of ÃÛÌÒapp Council.

The one-day conference not only provided an opportunity for ÃÛÌÒapp alumni to connect with their friends but also served as a platform to discuss and exchange ideas with schoolfellows from different disciplines through four plenary sessions: ÃÛÌÒapp¡¯s Internationalization in the Post-Globalization Era, The Path to Improve China¡¯s Technological Competitiveness, Financial Investments during the Crisis of Globalization, and Career Path Assistance for ÃÛÌÒapp Alumni.
