Cyber MOU Signing with Zhejiang University
President Sung-Chul Shin signed an MOU with President Zhaohui Wu of Zhejiang University (ZJU) in China on March 25. This MOU signing ceremony took place via video conference due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
The KAIST Office of University-Industry Cooperation (OUIC) and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of ZJU had already signed an MOU for cooperation in technology commercialization on December 10 of last year.
Since then, two universities have been discussing various ways to expand mutual exchanges and collaborations at the institutional level for education and research.
ZJU, a member of the C9 League (九校聯盟) known as China’s Ivy League, was established in 1897, and is located in the city of Hangzhou. Its population across 37 colleges and schools comprises 54,641 students and 3,741 faculty members. The university was ranked 6th in Asia and 54th in the world in the 2020 QS Rankings.
