As part of the academic activities of the 60th anniversary of Guangzhou Medical University (GMU), GMU and Radboud University of the Netherlands jointly organized the Sino-Dutch Forum on Biomedical Sciences on November 11.
President Xinhua Wang
On behalf of GMU, President Xinhua Wang welcomed the experts and introduced the cooperation between the two universities. The two universities signed the MOU in March 2018 and started to cooperate in teacher-student exchanges, scientific research, and innovation. Radboud University has strong advantages in neuroscience, immunology, stomatology, 3D printing, and other fields. It is hoped that experts from the two universities will cooperate much more closely in relevant fields, and further promote joint training of doctoral students.
