From February 10 to 13, a delegation from Shandong University visited University College Dublin (UCD) in Ireland upon invitation, to explore opportunities for deeper and broader collaboration in areas such as cooperative education, academic research, and faculty and student exchanges. During the visit, the delegation also met with alumni representatives and paid a visit to the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Ireland.
2月10日至13日,山东大学代表团应邀访问爱尔兰都柏林大学,探讨加强在合作办学、学术研究、师生交流等更多领域更深层次合作。其间,代表团还会见了校友代表,拜访中国驻爱尔兰大使馆。

Jeremy Simpson, Principal of the UCD College of Science; Anthony Brabazon, Principal of the UCD College of Business; and Tom Curran, Vice Principal of the UCD College of Engineering and Architecture, respectively met with the delegation. In-depth discussions were held on enhancing the alignment between talent cultivation and industry demands, exploring an interdisciplinary"STEM + Management" training model based on advantageous disciplines, promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional programs, and innovating pathways for cultivating versatile talent. Both parties agreed to establish a joint scientific research seed fund to strengthen collaborative tackling of key challenges and facilitate the synergy between high-quality educational resources and technological innovation resources. They also agreed to hold a"UCD Day" event at Shandong University, combining cultural exchanges with academic interactions to create a vibrant international campus atmosphere and promote the continuous and substantive development of their cooperation. Representatives from UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, School of Biosystems and Food Engineering, College of Business, and International Office participated in the discussions.
