Higher Education Seminars

German binational universities as an example of THNE

We had the pleasure of hosting Dr Jack Lee from the University of Glasgow at The Education University of Hong Kong yesterday (11 February 2026). Dr Lee delivered an engaging open lecture exploring Transnational Higher Education through the lens of German binational universities as a practical model of cross-border partnership. Our students showed strong interest, asking thoughtful and probing questions that led to a dynamic exchange on global higher education trends. Thank you to Dr Lee for his insightful contributions, and to all who participated — these interactions truly highlight the value of open dialogue in higher education leadership and policy.
