From September 23rd to 29th, President Zhang Linghao led a delegation to visit  several higher educational institutions in Switzerland and Germany, including the  Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana, the Institute of Design of the University of Applied  Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland, the Ulm School of Design, and Heidelberg  University. The visits aimed to advance cooperation in higher art education between  China and Europe. During the visits, both parties engaged in in-depth discussions and  signed memoranda of understanding on talent cultivation, research collaboration, and  faculties ’and students’ exchanges. Additionally, the delegation visited the Huawei  Research Center in Munich, Germany, to explore opportunities for collaboration  between universities’ research and industrial practices. These visits significantly  expanded NUA’s international cooperation network and deepened its partnerships  with European universities in art education, research, and exhibitions, marking an  important step in NUA’s international development.
