Politecnico strengthens its collaboration with Beihang University in Beijing
The collaboration between Politecnico and Beihang University in Beijing is being consolidated and strengthened: in recent months, two delegations from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering-DIMEAS visited the Chinese university to define new prospects for cooperation in both research and education, with a particular focus on PhD educational programme. The institutional visit, which involved representatives from the field of aerospace engineering in September and biomedical engineering in October, confirms the strong relationship between the two universities and attests to their desire to explore new opportunities for cooperation, a desire also expressed by recent visits to Politecnico by delegations from Beihang University.
This is the context for the Double PhD Degree agreement signed by the two universities on 15 October at the Faculty of Aeronautical Science and Engineering at Beihang University. This agreement promotes the mobility of PhD students, allowing them to carry out research periods at the partner university and, where applicable, to obtain a double PhD degree recognised by both institutions.
During the visit, the final details for the renewal of the SEA (Student Exchange Agreement) were also defined. Thanks to this renewal, Politecnico students enrolled in courses in Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Engineering will be able to choose Beihang as their destination for a mobility period of between 6 and 12 months. Similarly, Politecnico will be ready to welcome students from Beihang for similar periods of study in Turin.
The renewed and enhanced collaboration between the two universities confirms their shared commitment to promoting internationalisation, academic exchange and excellence in research, consolidating a long-standing relationship and opening up new opportunities for students and researchers from both institutions.
