On 16 March 2026, Mr Wang Wei , President of East & West International Education Group (EWIE), was invited to attend the University of Manchester Alumni Dinner in Beijing. The event brought together distinguished guests from the UK and China’s education sectors, including Professor Duncan Ivison and senior representatives from the University’s international office.

During the dinner, guests shared insights on the current landscape of UK–China international education. Mr Wang also met with Professor Ivison and other university representatives to discuss opportunities for potential collaboration.

All parties agreed that, in the context of the ongoing internationalisation of higher education, fostering connections and exchange between institutions helps enhance students’ global perspective and interdisciplinary development.

The event provided an opportunity to strengthen connections between EWIE and the University and explore potential areas for future collaboration.
