BEIJING, Nov. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
CRRC Group Co., Ltd. ("CRRC") and the University of Queensland (UQ) has
announced the establishment of the CRRC Merit Scholarship, with the goal to
support more youth talents contributing to the development of the industry in
Australia. The Scholarship, with the funds from CRRC, will honor and grant
financial assistance to the high-achieving undergraduate students from the
Faculty of Engineering of the University of Queensland.
At the virtual signing ceremony held on November 17, Professor Vicki Chen,
Executive Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Architecture & Information Technology
of UQ, and Gao Kang, Director, Corporate Culture Department of CRRC, inked the
agreement of the CRRC Merit Scholarship. The establishment of the scholarship
program also marks another milestone in the long-standing partnership between
CRRC and UQ, which has seen the two parties devoting joint efforts and
resources to help the individuals, organizations and communities in need over
the past few years.
Through the scholarship program, CRRC aims to encourage more young students to
get into the rail industry and nurture the next generation of aspiring
engineers by becoming a reliable partner of the faculty. Furthermore, CRRC will
build upon its years of partnership with the University to enhance the
experience and teaching of Faculty of Engineering students by hosting academic
seminars that connect students to industry experts as well as providing online
open courses and priority internship and job opportunities for students at UQ.
"The CRRC Merit Scholarship will provide students with the opportunity to excel
in their studies as they near the end of their respective courses and move
towards a successful career. UQ, in partnership with CRRC, hopes to assist
students throughout their studies to develop a greater understanding of the
pathways available – including the diverse range of careers in the rail
industry. We look forward to the CRRC Merit scholarship commencing in 2022 and
receiving some bright and enthusiastic students. We also look forward to a long
and successful partnership with CRRC," said Professor Vicki Chen.
"In Australia, CRRC has been encouraging young students to pay attention to the
industrial development in Australia. Building upon that effort, we joined hands
with the Faculty of Engineering of UQ to establish the CRRC Merit Scholarship
this year. We believe this scholarship program is another starting point from
which CRRC continues strengthening win-win cooperation with the University of
Queensland to bring mutual benefits. We also hope the CRRC Merit Scholarship
Program will open up a window for us to expand our partnership and set up a new
benchmark for business-university collaborations," said Gao Kang.
CRRC has been serving the Australian railway industry for more than two
decades. Along its on-going journey to help Australia build fast, safe and
efficient rail systems across the country, CRRC established a partnership with
the University of Queensland, the company's first university partner in
Australia, as part of its effort to bring together industry practitioners,
researchers and scholars to create synergy in research and education to further
strengthen the country's railway infrastructure.
