IE University Brings Together 29 Chinese Universities to Strengthen Academic Collaboration Between Europe and China

Representatives from 29 Chinese universities gathered this week at IE Tower, IE University’s headquarters in Madrid, to take part in the 2026 China Higher Education Fair, organized by Beijing Liujin Dongfang International Education Technology Co., Ltd., an entity affiliated with the China Scholarship Council (CSC). The event showcased the academic offerings of the participating institutions and strengthened academic collaboration between Spain and China in the fields of education, research, and talent development. Among the universities taking part were Tsinghua University, Renmin University of China, and Beihang University, all recognized among the leading academic institutions in the country.

Hosting this event at IE Tower reflects IE University’s commitment to the internationalization of higher education and to strengthening academic ties between Europe and Asia, while creating new opportunities for exchange and collaboration among educational institutions.

IE University and the China Scholarship Council have maintained a close partnership since 2019, when they launched the IE-CSC Scholarship Program. Since then, 140 outstanding Chinese students have studied at IE University thanks to these scholarships, which cover tuition, international travel, and living expenses in Madrid. The scholarship recipients, selected through a rigorous admissions process, pursue master’s programs at IE Business School, IE Law School, IE School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs, and IE School of Science and Technology.
