COVID-19 Messages de soutien des universités chinoises à ParisTech

Retours d’expérience, innovations pédagogiques, soutiens mutuels aux étudiants et personnels, recherche : la lutte contre la pandémie appelle à des coopérations renforcées. Tous nos partenaires le soulignent dans leurs lettres. Présent en Chine depuis plus de vingt ans, ParisTech y compte des partenaires de longue date, avec lesquels de nombreuses coopérations ont été développées : recrutement en cycle ingénieur ou doctorat, doubles diplômes, recherche, instituts franco-chinois. Plus que jamais nous sommes donc dépendants les uns des autres pour assurer la sécurité de nos étudiants, de nos personnels, et garantir le maintien de ces coopérations dans de bonnes conditions malgré les circonstances.

Tous comme eux, nous espérons que cette crise sera bientôt derrière nous, et que nous pourrons alors nous revoir, renfoncer nos coopérations, développer de nouveaux projets.
