2017年03月24日

Qian Xuesen Library & Museum is hosting a mini-exhibition “An Increasingly Unified Europe” by European University Institute, Florence. The exhibition, to showcase the process of a unifying Europe, is one of a series of events to commemorate the signing of the Treaties of Rome in 1957. 

Mr. Vincenzo De Luca, Consul General of Italian Consulate General in Shanghai, stated in the opening ceremony of the exhibition: “the European Union is 60 years old, and yet, she is still so young. EU is having a difficult time today, but EU has experienced numerous hardships in history, but always out of crisis and become increasingly powerful. Then I’m convinced that this is still the case.”  

In the seminar after the opening ceremony, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) Vice President Professor Huang Zhen stressed that SJTU has deepened the cooperation with many universities in Europe, and has established strategic partnerships with a few of them. 

The exhibition will be at Qian Xuesen Library & Musem from March 28 to April 20.
