Golden Jubilee University Presidents’ Forum attracted some 40 leaders of higher learning from 14 countries and regions to engage in a high-level dialogue to promote multicultural exchanges in universities. Participants included heads from the University of Cambridge, the University of Sydney, ETH Zurich, Peking University and Fudan University. The Forum was officiated by Mr. Edward Cheng, Chairman of University Grants Committee.
During the Forum, university heads exchanged views on three keynote addresses given by world-renowned leaders of seats of learning—‘Global Citizenship: the Role of University Education’ delivered by Dr. Phyllis Wise, Chancellor of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; ‘University Policies and Strategies: China and the World’ delivered by Prof. Zhang Jie, President of Shanghai Jiao Tong University; and ‘Partnerships and Collaborations: Universities, Governments and Community’ delivered by Prof. Andrew Hamilton, Vice-Chancellor of University of Oxford.
