“Since the initial cooperation between Hangzhou Dianzi University and Dublin City University in 2003, the partnership of the two universities has enjoyed the consistent support and close attention of President Xi Jinping. Over the past two decades, we have continually deepened international engagement and maintained a close, productive bilateral relationship.
“The establishment of the HDU-DCU International College of Electronics and Information Engineering stands as a high recognition of our longstanding cooperation and opens a new chapter in our joint endeavors. We are deeply honored and inspired by this milestone.
“Guided by the vision of President Xi Jinping, HDU will leverage its distinctive strengths in electronics and information disciplines, concentrate on cutting-edge fields such as information technology and artificial intelligence, and nurture future leaders for the global electronics and Al industries - thereby contributing our expertise and energy to worldwide innovation in these sectors.
“We look forward to advancing hand in hand with DCU. With educational collaboration as our bridge and technological exchange as our foundation, we will work together to cultivate top-tier technical talent and ambassadors of Sino-Irish friendship, making this College a model of higher education cooperation and a benchmark for technological dialogue between China and Ireland.”
