UNNC BEIS visit UNMC

We were delighted to host a visit by members of the UNNC Business Engagement team (Ian Dwyer, Kelly Yao and Du) in December 2014 (15-19 Dec 2014). This was a follow up to the visit the UNMC’s team made to Ningbo in Oct 2014.

It was a packed program, including a visit to Penang:

Unfortunately, I was in the UK at the time of the visit, so was not around but by all accounts it was a very interesting, informative and useful visit.

We hope that it also builds on the work that was done in Oct 2014 to enable the two campuses to share best practise and to work even more closely together.
