The new research centre at Haining campus is a fantastic opportunity to link the collaborative research of the Zhejiang-Edinburgh Institute with a concerted drive towards commercialisation and improvements in healthcare provision.”The City of Haining has invested $500 million in an international campus that officially opened last year as part of an innovative partnership with Zhejiang University and various international partners, including The University of Edinburgh.When full, the campus will house over 5000 students. International campus Dean, He Lianzhen said: “We had a lot of choices in which area to put the International Campus, but Haining is one of the most economically developed areas, with a rich cultural heritage. We are leaders in collaboration initiatives worldwide and with the establishment of this centre we are trying to create a synergy between the various institutions on campus. We want to set a framework for future collaborations.”
