ASK Asia China Workshop at the Nanjing Agricultural University – 11 October 2014
After surveying both Chinese alumni of EU Erasmus Mundus programmes and their Chinese employers, the ASK Asia China Team held a workshop at
the Nanjing Agricultural University (in Nanjing - China) to discuss the outcomes and draw conclusion so as to further improve and
increase EU-China student & staff mobility.
After an intense workshop, the participants concluded that:
- There is an increasing interest to go abroad, both from the students’ & the employers’ perspective. The momentum is there, we should seize the moment to increase ex-changes.
- Alumni and employers describe the advantage of an academic mobility to the EU as receiving an eye into the world; more concrete, the possibility to create a personal network.
- Alumni indicated the difference between EU and Chinese academic approach and pronounced the suggestion to include more practical experience (practical oriented education) in EU academic programmes.
- With respect to staff ex-change, an strong emphasis is set on publications and the int’l experience is evaluated upon it.
- EU institutes must fight against a strong perception that Anglo-Saxon education is better than that of continental Europe. This, mainly due to the promotional efforts in Chain by Anglo-Saxon academic instities.
- More promotion is needed by EU (institutes) in China on educational possibilities in the EU.
