Working with Einstein's alma mater

The University of Hong Kong has signed a memorandum of understanding with Princeton University to strengthen exchanges between academics. HKU vice-chancellor Tsui Lap-chee signed the academic partnership agreement with Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study's director Peter Goddard this week. The institute, one of the world's top centres of intellectual inquiry, has produced many well-known scholars, including Albert Einstein, who served on its faculty from 1933 to 1955. The agreement will see stronger academic partnerships between scholars from both universities.
