Glyndwr University - Here be dragons

A Welsh university has signed the first of seven planned agreements to share its research with different universities in Chongqing, southwest China. The memorandum of understanding between Glyndwr University and Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications (CQUPT) will see collaborations in the fields of art, business and engineering. Glyndwr will start teaching CQUPT students at its Wrexham campus from September 2010. Staff from CQUPT will also be given English-language training and the universities will carry out joint research. Glyndwr is hoping to sign similar research and teaching agreements with six other universities in Chongqing over the next few months.
