Representatives of Polish and Chinese universities met at the Silesian University of Technology as part of the Sino-Polish University Consortium, the first Polish-Chinese academic consortium that was established last year as part of the One Belt One Road initiative.

The meeting was attended by representatives of several dozen Chinese and Polish universities, including Beijing University of Technology, North China University of Technology, Tianjin University of Technology, AGH University of Science and Technology, and Silesian University of Technology, Warsaw and Opole University of Technology.
