MCI China Center meets China Centre of FHNW

Date 2022-09-20

Personal encounter and valuable exchange of experience between the two China Centres of Austria and Switzerland

September is harvest time. On a golden autumn day, the MCI China Center visited the China Centre of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) in Olten.

The China Centre of the FHNW has already existed for over 25 years in close connection with Swiss companies, universities and Chinese partners. Under the slogan "Knowledge for students and business", it promotes the exchange of knowledge and business relations between Switzerland and China. This improves the career opportunities of students and the market success of Swiss companies in an international environment where China is playing an increasingly important role.

In comparison, the China Center at MCI was founded in Tyrol just little over a year ago. It is expanding the MCI's internationalization with a focus on China, concentrating on building up China Competence in Tyrol for students, business and society.

The meeting between a well-established and a young China Centre was extremely refreshing and inspiring to both sides. In the friendly atmosphere, they were able to get to know each other, exchange thoughts and reflect on new concepts and methods of cooperation. A DACH-alliance was considered in order to generate synergies between China Center in Austria and China Centre in Switzerland. A return visit of the China Centre of FHNW is to follow in spring 2023 in Innsbruck, which should lead to a more in-depth cooperation programme.

"The cooperation with the China Center of MCI expands our knowledge about China and strengthens both organizations for the benefit of the general public, " says Prof. Ruedi Nützi, Head of the China Centre of the FHNW.

This is also the opinion of Prof. Wei Manske-Wang, Head of the China Center at MCI. "In the current volatile situation around the world, trustworthy and effective international communication is essential and meaningful."
