讲座内容/ Abstract:

The Arab higher education carries great importance in human and economic development. It contributes to the capabilities and skills of Arab youth and raises the level of education, training and innovation in Arab societies. In addition, linking Arab Universities with other universities globally plays a vital role in promoting cooperation and knowledge exchange between Arab universities with Fudan and other Chinese universities. It also enhances regional and international cooperation and contributes to novel knowledge creation. In short, Arab higher education represents an essential pillar in high human development, prepares competitiveness for Arab young in the labor market, and facilitates innovative, comprehensive and sustainable development in Arab societies.
