Delegations and Sabbaticals

Swissnex in China is proud to enhance the activities of Swiss universities in China by welcoming visiting professors and students. It is our aim to extend the professional networks and to strengthen international cooperation and exchange of academic staff members and their respective departments, by implementing a project with a specific goal in one of the swissnex locations, and by building new networks contributing to the international profiling and visibility of Swiss universities.

Sabbaticals

Every year, through the Staff Mobility Program, Swissnex in China supports the visits of sabbaticals from Zurich University of Applied Science (ZHAW). Not only do we research relevant contacts and organizations to meet based on their fields of research and facilitate the exchange and communication, but we also provide them with a working space during their stay. We have hosted sabbaticals in fields such as finance, insurance, management, transportation, and nursing in the past few years. You can read more about the experience of Fabienne Javet and Dr. Jan-Alexander Posth from the School of Management and Law, and Bernadette Alig and Katharina Fierz from the Institute of Nursing in 2019.

In the video below, Dr. Jan-Alexander Posth will also share with you in detail his discovery of green finance in China through the program.
