New Joint Innovation Projects Could Be Initiated with Research Centers in Shanghai
Student mobility and long-term professional internship opportunities were at the center of discussions with a delegation from Shanghai, held at the Obuda University headquarters on June 9.
Representing Óbuda University, Prof. Dr. Tamás Haidegger, CEO of Initium Venture Labs Ltd., Tímea Kovács, Project Manager, Prof. Dr. György Eigner, Dean of the John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics, Prof. Dr. Péter Galambos, Vice-Rector for Innovation, and Craig V. Johnson, Technology Transfer Expert at Initium Venture Labs Ltd., held discussions with the members of the delegation.
During the preliminary talks on cooperation between Obuda University, the Caohejing Hi-Tech Park, and the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (SAIRI), several promising areas for joint collaboration emerged. The discussions focused primarily on student mobility and long-term internship opportunities.
During the discussions, it became clear that the partner is open to providing long-term internship opportunities, which would also be made available to students of Óbuda University. It was also highlighted that SAIRI was among the first institutions in Shanghai to introduce an AI-focused incubation program. The relationship is already active, with several colleagues having visited SAIRI in recent months.
The partner institution has expressed a clear willingness to host Hungarian students and to launch joint innovation projects. The aim of the cooperation is to ensure that university research results can be translated into industrial applications and to create long-term opportunities for joint research, development, and business collaboration. It is hoped that further avenues of cooperation with the Caohejing Hi-Tech Park will emerge in the future.
