On November 5, Aline Aubertin, Dean and General Manager of Paris Institute of Digital Technology (ISEP) headed an ISEP delegation to visit HUST. Zhang Yonghui, Vice President of HUST, met with the guests. Chen Jie, Director of the Office of International Affairs, hosted the meeting.
On behalf of HUST, Zhang Yonghui welcomed the delegation and pointed out that ISEP is a key partner of HUST in France. The past decade has witnessed nearly two hundred students participated in student exchange programs and 3+3 dual degree program, fostering a large number of leading talents in engineering who are familiar with both cultures, with a solid intellectual foundation and global competence. He emphasized that the unique engineering education system of France aligns with HUST's goal to cultivate high-caliber engineering talents, both emphasizing innovation practices and the integration of industry and education. He expressed hope that the exchange could serve as an opportunity to further build consensus, enhance mutual trust, and explore a cooperation pattern that integrates the strength of both sides to jointly nurture more outstanding engineering talents for the future.
Aline Aubertin thanked HUST for the warm reception and highly praised HUST students for their performance in the 3+3 dual degree program. She stated that ISEP aims to cultivate engineers in digital technology, particularly excelling in information technology, communications engineering, data science, and artificial intelligence. The year 2025 marks the 70th anniversary of ISEP and the 20th anniversary of the partnership between the two institutions. At this new starting point, ISEP hopes to further deepen teaching and research collaboration with HUST, developing more exchange programs in a joint effort to better benefit both faculties and students, and facilitate an increased output from the cooperation.
During the discussion, Thomas Ea, Head of International Relations of Isep, introduced the subject setting, education programs and the newly built Bordeaux campus. Qiu Caiming, Dean of the School of Electronic Information and Communications (EIC), and Tang Ming, Executive Dean of the School of Future Technology, introduced their schools and proposed collaboration initiatives. The two sides held in-depth discussions on co-developing international courses, promoting student exchanges for scientific research practice, and co-establishing a green communications research center, etc., agreeing to further their cooperation.
The delegation also visited the EIC, gaining insights into the mobile communication and intelligent systems laboratory and experiencing the “Sense-Communication-Computation” integrated intelligent testbench.
