The Vice Dean of Peking University HSBC Business School (PHBS) Professor Vincent Chang and the Assistant Dean of PHBS Prof. Haifeng Huang recently visited Europe with the targeted purpose of establishing a new series of international cooperation programs with business schools in Europe. During their visit, Professors Chang and Huang were also invited by the leaders of the European Union and some other international academic institutions to participate in international events and activities which further promoted the academic exchange and cooperation between PHBS and the institutions in Europe.
 
On the 19th of January, Professors Chang and Huang visited St. Gallen University and reached a consensus with Mr. Christopher Morch, head of St. Gallen Symposium. Students from PHBS will be regularly nominated to attend the Global Young Leaders Conference. Every year 250 young representatives will be selected from the thousands of applicants to go to St. Gallen to meet with leaders in the fields of Politics, Academia and Business. On the morning of January 20th, Prof. Chang met with Juergen Bruker, Dean of the International department at St. Gallen University Business School, in order to discuss student exchange programs.
