“It’s the first time a Chinese research university has established a physical presence in the US. In pursuit of solutions to some of the biggest global challenges, Tsinghua University in China and the University of Washington in Seattle will join hands to create the Global Innovation Exchange (GIX), an institute dedicated to educating the next generation of innovators. GIX is based on the conviction that effectively addressing major scientific and technical issues on a global scale will require ever-increasing coordination between China and the US…GIX will pioneer new models of global teaching and learning by directly connecting students and faculty through equal collaborations with research-led companies and non-profits in a holistic, project-based environment that will prepare students to help solve a range of global challenges.”(more)
