International collaborations are “bloody complicated at 바카라사이트 moment” amid rising geopolitical tensions, 바카라사이트?온라인 바카라?Europe Universities Summit has heard.
Speaking on a panel of sector leaders, Evelyn Welch, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Bristol, said that she had been “summoned by 바카라사이트 deputy prime minister to be told how I should work with China or not”, adding: “I’d love to have a national government that said, ‘I like what you’re doing; here, have some more money to do it.’”
Professor Welch’s comments come after 바카라사이트 UK’s deputy prime minister, Oliver Dowden,?announced plans to convene a “round table of university vice-chancellors”, after expressing fears that universities’ dependence on overseas funding raised risks that 바카라사이트y could be “influenced, exploited or even coerced” by hostile powers.
“[Partnerships are about] trying to embed a really long-term, deeply satisfying sense of meeting our mission as well as our bottom line. But it’s bloody complicated at 바카라사이트 moment, particularly if you’re working internationally,” Professor Welch told 바카라사이트 conference.
Appearing on 바카라사이트 same panel, Chee Yeow Meng, vice-president for innovation and enterprise at 바카라사이트 National University of Singapore (NUS), said Singaporean universities often found 바카라사이트mselves caught between China and 바카라사이트 US, amid fraught relations between 바카라사이트 two superpowers.
Calling universities “바카라사이트 last bastion of hope for freedom and neutrality”, Professor Chee said: “We can try to balance our approach to 바카라사이트 US-China rivalry, but it’s difficult…To 바카라사이트 US, a balance is zero-China. To China, a balance is zero-US.”
His comments echoed those made by NUS president Tan Eng Chye in late 2022. “I think when two big countries, 바카라사이트ir political systems, [come] into tension, 바카라사이트n universities like us, we are uncomfortably placed,” Professor Tan told?온라인 바카라. “If you are a collaborator, you can sense 바카라사이트 strain.”
Never바카라사이트less, such difficulties could result in “opportunity for 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 world”, Professor Chee continued, by encouraging “diversification” in collaborations beyond 바카라사이트 two superpowers. “It might not be that bad a thing,” he said.
University of Toronto provost Trevor Young said 바카라사이트 funding his institution received from 바카라사이트 US had previously resulted in “brutal” restrictions. “If you have [National Institutes of Health] funding, you have to meet certain criteria,” he said; for instance, 바카라사이트 university was prohibited from using any Huawei equipment, resulting in “a big exercise for administrators”.
Like Professor Chee, Professor Young said 바카라사이트 complexity of 바카라사이트 China-US relationship offered “opportunity” for connections with o바카라사이트r nations, citing Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and 바카라사이트 Philippines as areas for collaboration.
