About This Cause
Tsinghua Education Exchange North America (aka Tsinghua GIX Institute North America) was registered in December 2016 with the primary purpose of supporting Tsinghua University to actively participate in Global Innovation Exchange (GIX) collaborations. GIX is a global network and innovative program co-founded by University of Washington and Tsinghua University with initial funding from Microsoft company in the State of Washington. Since the grand opening of GIX in September 2017, we have been working with Tsinghua University and University of Washington on the day-to-day operations of GIX dual degree program and engaged in communications among multiple participants of GIX network. In addition to promoting global collaboration, as a local nonprofit organization, we think serving the local community is very important as well. We have devoted to creating a dynamic platform to local people and organizations by holding events such as start-up weekend, business roadshow and free seminars. Aiming at building up a pipeline of innovation education, apart from academic programs, we also hold winter/summer camps for high school students, summer program for undergraduate students and executive director trainings. In the future, we have planned the following activities: Continue to support GIX academic programs; Facilitate development of Tsinghua University programs in U.S.; Promote a US-China joint research institute on environment and health; Establish and promote a multilateral education exchange platform among famous universities across the world; Build up a pipeline of innovation education; Periodically hold conferences, summits, and events to benefit local community; Raise fund to support the above activities.
