Strengthening Partnerships in Europe

June 5, 2019

To strengthen and expand NC State’s partnerships in Europe, Chancellor Randy Woodson recently visited a few universities where NC State students and faculty are involved in academic exchanges and research collaboration.

Each visit provided the opportunity to meet with senior leadership for discussions about areas for increased cooperation as well as tours of key research centers and institutes, such as the Advanced Technology Institute and the Center for Vision, Speech, and Signal Processing at the University of Surrey, U.K.
