Tsinghua Vice President Xie Weihe visited Ecole Polytechnique recently and signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the two institutions.
Ecole Polytechnique, established in 1794, plays an important role in France and enjoys world-wide prestige. Its graduates have been top leaders and researchers in politics, industry and education circles. Only 400 French students and 100 international students are admitted annually into Ecole Polytechnique.
The MOU covers the cooperation areas of the exchange of information and academic materials, exchange of faculty and students, joint master’s programs and joint supervision of Ph.D. students, and joint research projects. The institutions hope to enhance the exchange and coordination to explore other cooperation possibilities.
