On 15 November, UIC broadened its international reach by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Agreement with Trinity University, USA.
Prof Ng and Prof Anderson sign the MoU agreement
This is a first step to further develop collaboration opportunities between the two schools in the area of research and teaching as well as student exchange. Trinity University was one of the visiting schools during the 2017 International Liberal Arts Forum, with the Memorandum being signed on the last day of the forum. Present to sign the Memorandum was Trinity University President, Professor Danny J Anderson, who then shook hands with President of UIC, Prof Ng Ching-Fai to start the official partnership between schools.

Prior to this, Trinity University and UIC had partnered together for several short study programmes, including two summer programmes at UIC that focused on the ecology and bio-conservation of China. Several UIC students also previously had the opportunity to complete research and studies at Trinity University. This memorandum will encourage further collaborations and programmes.
