Sino-Finnish education ventures expected to 'step up to a new level'

Collaboration in education has become one of the highlights of Sino-Finnish relations in recent years, with exchanges unfolding in a wide range of fields and at all levels.

In 2015, the Sino-Finnish Learning Garden - a framework for education exchanges and cooperation between China and Finland, was founded. Later, the Sino-Finnish Joint Learning Innovation Institute (also known as JoLii) was launched in 2016 with the participation of major universities from both countries and under the coordination of Beijing Normal University and the University of Helsinki.

"With the committed and coordinated actions of JoLii, Sino-Finnish education cooperation will step up to a new level," said Cai Yuzhuo, founder of the Chinese Education, Research and Exchange Centre at the University of Tampere in Finland.
