TAIPEI, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The European Association for International Education (EAIE) held its 2024 annual conference in Toulouse, France from September 17 to 20. Dr. Cheng-Chih Wu, chairperson of the Foundation for International Cooperation in Higher Education of Taiwan (FICHET), led a delegation of more than 50 participants from 21 universities to participate in the conference. Mei-Chen Lu, Education Division Director of the Taipei Representative Office in France, along with Lih-Tien Hsu, secretary of the Education Division, welcomed the delegation and discussed opportunities for research and education cooperation in France.

Wu stated that this year marked the 34th anniversary of the EAIE Conference and Exhibition, a quintessential higher education event in Europe. This year’s theme was “En route!” (French for “Go!”), a powerful call to educators from all over the world. The conference saw more than 6,500 representatives from universities and research institutions participating in more than 240 events.

According to Wu, Taiwan is a key partner of the European Union in Asia, with close cooperation in the areas of human rights, gender equality, social issues, climate change, education, and cultural events. In 2023, Taiwan’s Ministry of Education (MOE) launched a program that aims to boost enrollment and retention of international students, with a five-year budget of USD160 million. Under this program, the University Academic Alliance in Taiwan, formed by 12 Taiwanese universities, will seek to strengthen partnerships with five university alliances in Europe, the U.S., and Japan.  Through the Horizon Europe initiative and the Jean Monnet Project, Taiwan and the EU forge strong partnerships for international research.

MOE statistics shows nearly 7,300 European students are studying in Taiwan in 2024, with more than 80% of them coming from EU member states, and more than 10,000 Taiwanese students studying in Europe, with most of them also in EU member states. This shows that the education exchanges and talent mobility between Taiwan and the EU have been robust and will continue to flourish.

To strengthen education partnership between Taiwan and France, the two countries have adopted a multi-faceted approach that includes the annual Taiwan-France Educational Cooperation Meeting, the Taiwan-France Higher Education Leaders Forum, the Taiwan Studies Project, as well as inking more cooperation agreements and implementing language teaching assistants exchange program, and these programs have yielded remarkable results. This year (2024), France is the European country that has the most students studying in Taiwan, with more than 1,700 students in Mandarin language programs and exchange programs.

During the conference, FICHET organized a Taiwan Night networking event at Hotel NH Toulouse Airport on the evening of September 18. Representatives of the 21 Taiwanese universities and their partner universities attended the dinner, amounting to about 100 attendees. Discussion was lively at the event and revolved around forming multilateral partnerships and strengthening educational cooperation.

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BingX Charity, the philanthropic arm of the global leading cryptocurrency exchange BingX, has donated 400 million VND to aid recovery efforts in northern Vietnam following Typhoon Yagi. This typhoon is the strongest to hit the country in three decades, causing widespread destruction and leaving hundreds dead or missing and thousands displaced.

In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, BingX launched a donation campaign on September 12, 2024, committing 400,000,000 VND to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee. This donation was aimed at providing crucial aid to those affected by the typhoon and subsequent floods and landslides. BingX’s donation campaign, together with the generous contributions from the public, has been vital in providing immediate relief to those affected by the catastrophe. The funds will help rebuild communities, restore infrastructure, and deliver essential supplies to families who have lost their homes and livelihoods.

As part of BingX’s commitment to helping the victims of Typhoon Yagi, the exchange also introduced a donation-matching initiative. For every 1,000 VND donated by the public to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee, BingX matched the amount. This initiative, which concluded on September 17, significantly increased total financial support, bringing the combined contribution to 1 billion VND. This includes 600 million VND raised through the matching program and 400 million VND from BingX’s initial donation.

In addition to those efforts, BingX will also organize a charity program on September 18 in the spirit of solidarity and sharing. The event will take place in Nam Khap Ngoai village and Trung Do village, Bao Nhai commune, Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province, where 230 charity gifts will be distributed to the people of the region. This area, still facing numerous challenges after Typhoon Yagi, is difficult to access due to its rugged terrain, limiting relief efforts. The charity gifts, including essential necessities, are prepared based on the recommendations of the local government to ensure they meet the actual needs of the community. BingX hopes that this program will provide not just material support, but also foster faith and hope, encouraging the local people to overcome their current difficulties. This aims to spread the spirit of mutual love and light the flame of humanity in these trying times.

Reflecting on these, Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer at BingX, stated, “We were deeply moved by the overwhelming response from our community during this campaign. At BingX, we believe in leveraging our platform to bring about positive change, and this initiative allowed us to stand alongside the people of northern Vietnam in their time of need. We hope our contributions, combined with those from generous donors, will have a lasting impact on recovery efforts.”

BingX remains committed to supporting global communities in times of crisis, and the company extends its gratitude to all those who participated in this vital campaign.
