On May 8th, Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) held a kick-off meeting for the 2023 Visiting Program at the Technion. This program was delayed due to the COVID-19 in the past couple of years. Now, under the unified organization of the university, the visit to Israel is finally restarted. Undergraduates of 2020 cohort will be the first batch of participants and voluntarily sign up to go to the Technion for study and exchanges from August to September this year. It is a great opportunity for them to experience the long-standing Israeli culture and the learning atmosphere at the Technion, a world-renowned science and technology institution.

At the meeting, Prof. Dganit Danino, Dean of Undergraduate Studies and Head of Biotechnology and Food Engineering Program, gave an introduction on the academic plan of the 2023 Visiting Program at the Technion. Each study program includes program courses or projects which expose the students to the professional teaching and facilities of the Technion. Apart from the academic arrangements, students will be invited to various entertaining activities, to gain more cultural experience from the trip.

Prof. Eli Aljadeff, Head of Mathematics with Computer Science Program, also encouraged the students to take advantage of this opportunity, bravely meet challenges, and actively communicate with professors of the Technion. This will be of great benefit to future study abroad. Besides, Dr. Queena Yi, Associate Pro Vice Chancellor gave a detailed introduction on the cost budget, transportation arrangements, visa procedures, pre-departure preparations, overseas safety and other related matters of this project, and answered questions for the students to ensure they are fully prepared for the trip to Israel.
