“In the post-epidemic era and in the face of future developments, opportunities and challenges will coexist. How to enhance international cooperation in higher education, transcend the development of higher education institutions at a higher level on the basis of the original bilateral or multilateral basis, transcend the boundaries of universities, dismantle physical walls, expand cooperation frontiers, and build a fair and just international order of higher education has become a topic that we must think deeply about and actively explore.”
Mr. Liu Baoli, Executive Secretary of the China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week Organizing Committee, said that the establishment of the ‘CCN International Borderless Campus’ in this context is very timely and necessary to promote the global mobility of key elements in the field of higher education in the era of digital economy and represents a new model of high-level development of international cooperation in higher education.
Mr. Liu expressed a sincerely wish that “CCN International Borderless Campus can become a big platform link, abiding by the law, on the basis of respecting diversity and mutual benefit principles, adhere to the “alliance strategy” and “infrastructure strategy” advocated by it, continue to attract high-quality universities and enterprise members to join, continue to optimize and upgrade the public infrastructure system services of cross-border education, improve the efficiency of cooperation, and carry out high-quality and sustainable cross-border education cooperation practices between Chinese and foreign universities and between Chinese and foreign universities and enterprises, promote the high-level development and digital transformation of international cooperation in higher education in the post-epidemic era, and continue to move towards building an academic community, a world youth community, a socially responsible community and a community with a shared future for mankind.”
