The University of New England recently hosted a delegation from Chifeng University, Inner Mongolia on campus to discuss collaboration opportunities. The outcome was a Memorandum of Understanding articulating education exchange of students and staff, collaborative research opportunities on ethnic minorities and indigenous education as well as professional development of teacher training in regional, rural and remote communities – a great step forward in our international relations.
