The University of
Nottingham, the Ningbo Municipal Government, and Wanli Education Group
(WEG) recently signed a £25 million cooperative agreement.
The agreement will see the creation of the International Academy for the Marine
Economy and Technology (IAMET) at The University of Nottingham Ningbo China
(UNNC).
The IAMET will be a purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility that will foster
new collaborations with industry.
Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Hai-Sui Yu, who chairs the University of
Nottingham's taskforce on marine economy, said, "The International Academy
for the Marine Economy and Technology (IAMET) will provide a major platform for
research, knowledge exchange, and commercialisation activities not just for
UNNC but also for the University of Nottingham more generally.
"This is a major initiative that will be led from UNNC but supported by
the University of Nottingham in the U.K. and in Malaysia. Ningbo provides an
ideal environment and location for establishing and developing the IAMET
because of its strong port and shipping industry, rich marine resources, clear
international strategies, and its strong scientific research and education
base.
"The University of Nottingham, through its campuses in the U.K., China,
and Malaysia, will use its research and knowledge exchange strengths to support
the Academy in achieving the Ningbo Municipal Government's key priorities, and
boost Ningbo's reputation as a leading city in the development of the marine
economy."
