The Hebrew University in Jerusalem announced this week that it will open three tech centers in Chicago; Asunción, Paraguay; and Shenzhen, China.
The centers will encourage cooperation between Hebrew University researchers and local industries, according to a statement.
“In China, Yissum will team with the China Israel Innovation Center Ltd., affiliated with Tsinghua University in Shenzhen,” added the Post.
The Hebrew University statement added that similar centers will open in the future.
This follows another recent Israeli academic development in China. In November, the University of Haifa announced the unveiling of a joint campus in Shanghai, the “Joint Technological Institute,” with ECNU University of China.
The new 4,500-square-meter campus there is part of the Zizhu International Education Park in Shanghai and will focus on areas of study, including biomedicine, brain science and environmental science.
