On May 30th, 2011, Ren Nanqi, Vice President of HIT, met Daniel Siewiorek (Director of Human-Computer Interaction Institute in Carnegie Mellon University) and his wife. Wang Yadong, Director of Computer Science Department, Professor Yang Xiaozong, Director of Zuo Decheng Research Center, Guo Weihua, Director of Foreign Affairs Office and Fan Hongbo, Director of International Office attended the meeting. Carnegie Mellon University, as one of the top universities in the field of computer science, sends a given number of visitors to HIT every year. From May 25th 2011, both sides came up with a Memorandum of Understanding on corporations in the field of computer science.
At the meeting, two sides both introduced their research in IT field, and conducted discussions on some issues of common interests, which was helpful to increase mutual understanding. Both sides stated that they were longing for further corporations in associated training, exchange of faculty and joint academic research.
At present, HIT has not initiated any communications or corporations with Carnegie Mellon University. Ren Nanqi expressed that our university would pay a visit to Carnegie Mellon University in November this year, and we were looking forward to sending exchange students to Carnegie Mellon University for academic communications. By that time, there would be a brand new stage of corporations in long-range education and associated training between two universities.
