China Strategy Working Group (CSWG)
Purpose
The China Strategy Working Group (CSWG) is organised to provide strategic direction for the University’s medium- and long-term engagement in China and with Chinese partners. While CSWG’s remit is on the Academic University, it will also aim to increase alignment with the University’s subsidiaries and the Colleges, whose activities will however not be directed by the Working Group.
CSWG Membership
Owing to the broad remit of the CSWG, it includes members from a wide range of stakeholders, including subject matter experts and academics with strong connections to Chinese partners, and administrative staff from offices relating to strategic partnerships, philanthropic development, student admission, public affairs/communications and others as relevant.
