University wants outpost in Xiamen
Educating the Chinese in China: this is the principle behind the idea of founding a university campus in the Chinese province of Fujian. The plan is for a collaboration between UC Davis in California and Xiamen University. Rector Martin Kropff, board member Tijs Breukink and education director Tiny van Boekel will be visiting Xiamen in June for exploratory talks.
Xiamen lies on the south coast of China, opposite Taiwan. Wageningen UR is already involved on the campus of Xiamen University, where a horticultural development centre was opened in April 2011. The access road to the centre is called Wageningen Road.
