Shanghai University delegation visits Montpellier
On Monday, December 4, the University of Montpellier received an official visit from a delegation representing Shanghai Medical University (SMU) as part of a partnership agreement between the two universities that has been in place since 2017.
Led by Ms. Yongjin Guo, President of Shanghai UMSSS, the Chinese delegation met with Vincent Lisowski, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, François Pierrot, Vice President of Montpellier University in charge of international relations, Céline Delacourt-Gollain, Director of International Relations, Benjamin Nottelet, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy in charge of international relations, and Pierre-Antoine Bonnet, Head of the Master's program in Medicines and Health Products.
Since 2017, students from Shanghai have been coming to Montpellier to study for a master's degree in drug sciences and health products at the Faculty of Pharmacy or to undertake discovery internships in laboratories at the University of Montpellier. This educational partnership also facilitates access to internships in China for French students, while enabling teachers from Montpellier to participate in certain IMSSS courses.
This meeting provided an opportunity to discuss strengthening the existing ties between the University of Montpellier and Shanghai Medical University (SMU) and to explore other areas for future educational collaboration, particularly in the context of the master's degree in nutrition and food science, as well as opportunities to develop this partnership in the field of research.
