Prof. Krieg, vice-president of University of Cologne, visited our university

On the morning of March 31, our vice-president Chen Yiyi met with Prof. Krieg, vice-president of University of Cologne, Germany. Chen gave a discipline overview of our university, and hoped to accelerate the building of the bilateral cooperation partnership through this meeting, and promote the personnel exchange and research cooperation, especially the exchange program between two universities.

Before the meeting, Prof. Krieg had a professional talk with our medicine school relevant representatives, and got an in-depth understanding of discipline in our medicine school and school of life science.

It is learned that this was Prof. Krieg first visit to our university, but his forefather Dr. Paul Krieg came to Shanghai from Hong Kong and joined in the pre-establishment of Tongji German medicine school before the predecessor of Tongji University, and taught there from 1909 to 1917.
