In his opening remarks, CUFE President Ma Haitao reviewed the experience gained through the development of the cooperative program. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing quality as the foundation of talent development, fostering integration and innovation through two-way cross-cultural learning, and serving social development by addressing the country’s practical needs. He noted that the two universities’ shared commitment to practical action and excellence had laid the foundation for their long-standing partnership across continents and would guide them into a new stage of development. Nariman Farvardin, President of Stevens Institute of Technology, expressed his hope that the two universities would continue working together from this new historical starting point to achieve even more fruitful results. Jianmin Qu, Provost of Stevens, invoked the Chinese proverb “It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person” to express his vision for the partnership. Constantin Chassapis, Senior Vice Provost of Stevens, delivered a presentation on “Graduate Education in the Era of Artificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation, and Global Innovation.” The opening ceremony was chaired by Wang Zhifeng, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Management Science and Engineering at CUFE.
二十周年专题环节，史蒂文斯理工学院商学院院长Gert-Jan de Vreede表示，人工智能等新技术的快速发展，技术、商业与管理之间的联系日益紧密为两校进一步拓展合作提供了新的空间。管理科学与工程学院院长刘志东表示，质量为本、深度融合和长期传承的宗旨始终贯穿项目建设，项目将进一步推进课程改革、联合研究、实践育人和校友网络建设，将人工智能应用、数据分析、数字化项目管理、绿色项目管理等前沿内容融入人才培养，持续探索双方更加深入的合作可能。
During the special session marking the 20th anniversary, Gert-Jan de Vreede, Dean of the School of Business at Stevens, noted that the rapid development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, together with the increasingly close connections between technology, business, and management, had created new opportunities to expand cooperation between the two universities. Liu Zhidong, Dean of CUFE’s School of Management Science and Engineering, emphasized that quality, deep integration, and long-term continuity had remained central to the program throughout its development. He stated that the program would further advance curriculum reform, joint research, practice-oriented education, and alumni network development. Emerging topics such as AI applications, data analytics, digital project management, and green project management would also be incorporated into talent development, while both sides continued to explore opportunities for deeper cooperation.
主旨报告环节，河北师范大学校长李桂君、史蒂文斯理工学院商学院原院长Gregory Prastacos分别围绕“现代大学治理中的国际合作”“人工智能时代的组织变革”作专题报告。史蒂文斯理工学院商学院院长Gert‑Jan de Vreede、我校教授常远、史蒂文斯理工学院教授Peter Dominick围绕“在瞬息万变的世界中管理组织”主题分别作经验分享。在“国际合作与人才培养”专题研讨中，我校多个学院相关负责人和合作项目校友分享了新形势下高校国际合作的思考。与会嘉宾认为，面对全球教育格局、技术变革、学生需求的不断演化，高质量国际合作应当跳出单一项目合作模式，迈向学术、人才、资源全方位协同，坚守人才培养质量底线，持续锻造学生国际视野、跨文化沟通能力与综合素养。
During the keynote session, Li Guijun, President of Hebei Normal University, and Gregory Prastacos, former Dean of the School of Business at Stevens, delivered presentations on “International Cooperation in Modern University Governance” and “Organizational Transformation in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,” respectively. Gert-Jan de Vreede, Dean of the School of Business at Stevens; Chang Yuan, a professor at CUFE; and Peter Dominick, a professor at Stevens, also shared their insights on the theme “Managing Organizations in a Rapidly Changing World.” At the panel discussion on “International Cooperation and Talent Development,” representatives from several CUFE schools and alumni of the cooperative program shared their perspectives on international collaboration in higher education under changing circumstances. Participants agreed that, amid ongoing changes in the global higher education landscape, technological innovation, and student needs, high-quality international cooperation must move beyond isolated collaborative programs toward comprehensive coordination in academics, talent development, and resource sharing. They also stressed the importance of maintaining rigorous standards in talent development while continuously strengthening students’ global perspectives, cross-cultural communication skills, and overall competencies.
