On the morning of June 14, 2024, Professor Andrew T. Forcehimes, Head of the Department of Philosophy, and Professor Winnie Sung, Associate Dean of the School of Humanities (2020-2024) of the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, visited the School of Philosophy，and Professor Zang Fengyu, Dean of the School of Philosophy, met with them. The two sides had an in-depth discussion on cooperation and exchanges, mutual visits of teachers and students, and joint lectures.

Dean Zang Fengyu welcomed Prof. Andrew and his delegation, and introduced to them the international exchanges and the full English-taught master's program of the School in recent years. Dean Zang Fengyu said that in recent years, the School of Philosophy has been exploring the new teaching mode of "co-teaching" with the University of Padova (Italy), University of Munich (Germany), Free University of Berlin (Germany), Sorbonne University (France), and University of Birmingham (UK) respectively, in which teachers from both sides work together to create a unique experience of cross-cultural exchange for students. We hope to further explore the possibility of co-teaching with Nanyang Technological University, and further promote the in-depth cooperation between the two sides in student cultivation, academic exchanges, scientific research and other aspects. Dean Zang Fengyu mentioned that we will work together with the School of Humanities and the Department of Philosophy of Nanyang Technological University to establish a mechanism of mutual visits between teachers and students and "academic workshops", set up scientific research teams in related fields, promote international cooperation during the summer semester, and organize international academic symposiums, etc., so as to build up a solid foundation for cooperation and promote the academic achievements of both sides under the framework of

cooperation.

Prof. Andrew and Prof. Winnie Sung said that Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has a good research foundation in Chinese Philosophy and Philosophy of Science and Technology, and the students have a strong interest in Chinese Philosophy. The "co-teaching" approach will not only greatly motivate the teachers, but also attract more students to participate in the course. The full English-taught master's degree program, which teaches Chinese philosophy, religion and culture in English, is attractive to students who want to study the related fields in depth. We will promote the program within the university, so that more students will learn about the content of the program and better opportunities will be provided for them. After this meeting, we will further promote the cooperation and communication between the two sides on "co-teaching" and full English-taught master's program, and build a better platform for dialogue and exchange for teachers and students of both sides.

During the meeting, Dean Zang Fengyu presented the book "Our Philosophical Years - School of Philosophy of RUC in the Silhouette of Time"to Prof. Andrew and his delegation.

Associate Professor Li Jifen, head of the Full English-taught Master's Program of the School of Philosophy, and Foreign Affairs Secretary Jin Yumeng attended the meeting.
