On September 15, a delegation from the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences at the University of Alberta, Canada, visited the Graduate School. The delegation included Professor Rickey Yada, Dean of the Faculty; Professor Jianping Wu, Associate Dean; and Professor Henry An, Chair of the Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology. Wen Yang, Assistant Dean of the Graduate School, and Dong Yiwei, Director of the Office of International Education, attended the meeting.
代表团做客我校“留学农科·丝路讲堂”第七讲，三位教授结合学科前沿动态与中加合作发展议题作分享交流。Rickey Yada教授以“变革世界中农业、食品科学和技术的未来”为题作报告，聚焦粮食安全、智慧农业、植物基食品等领域，分享行业前沿发展趋势与核心研究方向。Jianping Wu教授介绍该校农学、生命与环境科学学院办学及研究生培养情况，梳理中加学术合作成果并展望未来合作前景。Henry An教授围绕气候韧性创新研究，介绍相关科研探索与实践成果。
The delegation joined the seventh session of our university’s “Study Agricultural Science in China · Silk Road Lecture Series,” where the three professors shared insights on cutting-edge developments in their respective fields and opportunities for China–Canada cooperation. Professor Rickey Yada delivered a presentation titled “The Future of Agriculture, Food Science and Technology in a Changing World,” focusing on food security, smart agriculture, plant-based foods, and other key areas, while sharing emerging industry trends and major research directions. Professor Jianping Wu introduced the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences, including its academic programs and postgraduate training, reviewed achievements in China–Canada academic cooperation, and outlined prospects for future collaboration. Professor Henry An discussed innovative research on climate resilience, presenting related scientific explorations and practical outcomes.
互动环节，代表团专家针对我院师生关注的前沿技术、联合培养、访学交流等问题逐一答疑解惑。本次讲座吸引了150余名中外师生线上线下参会。参会师生表示，本次讲座聚焦全球农科发展前沿，搭建起中外学术思想交流的桥梁，有效拓宽国际学术视野、启迪科研思路，大家受益匪浅。
During the interactive session, the visiting experts answered questions from faculty members and students on cutting-edge technologies, joint training programs, academic visits, and other topics of interest. The lecture attracted more than 150 Chinese and international faculty members and students both online and in person. Participants noted that the lecture focused on global frontiers in agricultural science and created a bridge for international academic exchange. It broadened their global academic perspectives, inspired new research ideas, and proved highly valuable.
活动期间，双方围绕中外合作办学、常态化交流机制建设等议题深入座谈，磋商师生互访、联合科研等后续合作方向。代表团参观国家作物种质库与研究生院国际教育学院，实地了解我院科研平台与国际化人才培养建设情况，进一步增进共识、深化互信互通。
During the visit, both sides held in-depth discussions on topics including Sino-foreign cooperative education programs and the establishment of regular exchange mechanisms. They also explored future collaboration in areas such as faculty and student exchanges and joint research. The delegation visited the National Crop Germplasm Bank and the International Education College of the Graduate School to gain first-hand insight into the School’s research platforms and efforts to develop internationally oriented talent. The visits further strengthened mutual understanding, trust, and communication.
本次活动搭建了中加农科学术交流优质平台，是中加科技合作的生动实践。下一步，研究生院将持续深化国际科教务实合作，拓宽国际化人才培养渠道，稳步提升我院教育对外开放水平与农科人才培养质量。
This event established a valuable platform for academic exchange in agricultural science between China and Canada and served as a concrete example of bilateral scientific and technological cooperation. Moving forward, the Graduate School will continue to deepen substantive international cooperation in science and education, expand pathways for international talent development, and steadily enhance the openness of its education system and the quality of agricultural science talent training.
