NTHU has made concerted efforts to establish cooperative programs with leading universities in China to facilitate student exchanges as well as collaborative research programs between NTHU faculty and their Chinese counterparts. To heighten the visibility of NTHU, President Chen led two groups of faculty and staff members to visit Nanjing University and Zhejiang University last year and presented Tsing Hua Day on these two campuses. The program of Tsing Hua Day included an introduction of NTHU and a lecture series where our faculty members presented their cutting edge researches. In addition, Mr. Li-Pai Chen, Chair of NTHU Alumni Association and Mr. Wang-Ken Wang, CEO of ADATA Technology, who is also an alumnus of NTHU, were also invited by President Chen as guest speakers in these workshops to share their NTHU experience with Chinese students.

President Lih J. Chen opened the Tsing Hua Day at Nanjing University by emphasizing the historical tie between the two universities. He indicated that the two institutions have had a long cooperative relationship. For example, three of the most respected presidents of Nanjing University's predecessor, i.e., Nanjing Central University---Mr. Luo Jialun, Mr. Gu Yuxiu and Mr. Wu Youxun were all Tsing Hua alumni. Nanjing University and NTHU have also established an active student exchange program since 2007; throughout the years there were more than twenty students from Nanjing studied at NTHU campus. Moreover, the collaboration between the two universities has been strongly supported by the Jiangsu Provincial Government, which has recently donated one thousand books published by Jiangsu publishers to NTHU and invited one hundred NTHU students to visit Jiangsu.

Likewise, NTHU also has a long and fruitful exchange with Zhejiang University since 2008. To further intensify such exchanges, a Dual Degree Program was established in last August allowing students who participated in the exchange program to earn degrees from both NTHU and Zhejiang University.
