Dear all,
The Swiss guests will be welcomed on the campus of the Dalian University of Technology on Tuesday 24 June, 2008 at 5pm by Mr Haowen Wu, Director of International Programs of the University. His speech to the group represents the official start of the field trip to China in 2008.
In exactly 7 days, Prof. René Rüttimann and 18 students from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences will have arrived in Dalian, China.
The group will start the field trip in Dalian where they will take part of the International Week of the Dalian University of Technology. After that, the group will then head towards the greater area of Shanghai where companies will be visited in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou. The last third of the trip will be spent in Guilin, Guangzhou and finally, Hong Kong where again company visits are scheduled.
The organisation committee is very excited about the field trip and is looking forward to the beginning of it. The team is convinced that it will be an interesting experience with many, many highlights throughout the 17-day trip to China Mainland and Hong Kong.
During our field trip, we will post entries about our time in China daily. Hence, you can follow our route and program and see how your loved ones spend their time in China. We hope you will come back several times to this Blog over the coming weeks! And that you enjoy reading it!
We are looking forward to meeting you all in China!
See you soon in China,
The organisation committee
(Prof. R. Rüttimann, J. Blumer, D. Lehmann, Ch. Meyer)
