ECUST has taken significant steps in advancing its global engagement strategy through two major events in Shenzhen: the QS China Summit and the ISNS University Fair.

On 8 April, Mr. Xiaopeng Li, Dean of the College of International Education at ECUST, spoke as a panellist at the QS China Summit held at Futian Shangri-La, Shenzhen. The session, titled “National Collaboration: How to Uplift Across China,” gathered higher education leaders to discuss joint research platforms, regional connectivity, and talent co-cultivation. 

In his remarks, Dean Li highlighted how ECUST drawing on its distinctive strengths in science and engineering, pursues diverse and multifaceted collaborations with both domestic and international institutions. He emphasised that such partnerships aim to achieve highquality talent cultivation, advance international openness, and serve national strategic priorities.

During the same summit, Dean Li signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SEGi University of Malaysia on behalf of ECUST. The agreement establishes a general framework for academic and scientific cooperation, covering joint multidegree programs, faculty and student mobility, and bilateral seminars. 

One day prior, on 7 April, Ms. Wang Jingru, International Program Counselor of ECUST CIE, represented the university at the ISNS (International School of Nanshan Shenzhen) University Fair held on the campus. She engaged with international high school students and parents, introducing ECUST’s academic programmes and admission pathways. In the fair, ECUST was featured alongside more than 70 universities from around the world, underscoring its growing appeal to globally minded learners.

These coordinated efforts reflect ECUST’s proactive approach to building international partnerships and attracting diverse talent in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area, reinforcing its commitment to regional engagement and long-term growth.
