CEDD signs MOU with Southeast University (with photos)
******************************************************
     The Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) and the Southeast University (SEU) signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Nanjing today (May 9) to strengthen collaboration in areas such as applications of innovative engineering materials, advanced engineering technologies, and AI.

     The MOU was signed by the Director of Civil Engineering and Development, Mr Michael Fong, and the President of the SEU, Professor Sun Youhong. Under the MOU, both parties will engage in reciprocal visits, technical exchanges and information sharing, as well as collaborate on research projects, and joint conferences or seminars.

     Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr Fong said that the CEDD has been working closely with the construction sector on the Chinese Mainland in recent years to actively promote new quality productive forces. Leveraging the SEU's robust scientific research capabilities, the MOU will deepen co-operation in the field of frontier technologies, inject new momentum into the development of the Northern Metropolis, and cultivate top engineering talent for the construction industry through exchanges, thereby jointly building the "China construction" brand.

     Professor Sun commended the CEDD for its continuous application of innovative technologies in construction projects, demonstrating foresight and strong execution. He expressed hope that the value of the SEU's research findings would be enhanced through practical applications in the CEDD's projects, and that these achievements would reach the international stage by leveraging Hong Kong's role as a "super value-adder" and "super connector".

     Located in Nanjing, the SEU is a national key university administered directly by the Ministry of Education and jointly supported by the Ministry of Education and the People's Government of Jiangsu Province. The SEU is also designated as a key university under China's national "Project 985" and "Project 211".
