Three of The University of Queensland’s top research institutes will host 23 undergraduate science and biomedical students from China’s Fudan University this month.
The visiting international students will undertake a six-week research experience program in the lab that best suits their research interests at UQ’s Diamantina Institute, Institute for Molecular Bioscience and Queensland Brain Institute.
UQ’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Max Lu and IMB Director Professor Brandon Wainwright welcomed the students in true Queensland style at a barbeque hosted at IMB on 17 July.
This research experience program exchange between the two universities was initially established thanks to a collaboration between UQ’s Diamantina Institute and Fudan University.
Fudan University is one of China’s leading universities and is a fellow member of Universitas 21, an international network of 27 leading research-intensive universities in fifteen countries that aims to facilitate collaboration and cooperation between member universities.
