Great! One of the best univeristies in the world is setting up a Budapest campus!
Innovation and Technology Minister László Palkovics and Xu Ningsheng, the president of China’s Fudan University, meeting in Shanghai on Monday, signed a memorandum of understanding on the university’s setting up a Budapest campus.
Shanghai-based Fudan is among the world’s top 40 universities, according to QS World University Ranking, Hungary’s innovation and technology ministry said.
It has 4,500 teachers and more than 30,000 students.
Welcoming the project, Palkovics said cooperation between the two universities would help Hungary become a regional knowledge hub.
“With its presence and eminent foreign professors, Fudan can play a significant role in the internationalisation of Hungarian education. The planned opening of the campus could promote additional Chinese investments in Hungary and the establishment of research and development centres of Chinese companies in Hungary,” the ministry cited Palkovics as saying.
Fudan will be the first Chinese university to establish a campus abroad, in Budapest.
The Chinese government regards the campus a leading project in bilateral relations, the ministry said.

Really great news, just about parallel to the CEU, a university of well-earned truly international fame being forced to get the feck out of the country by this uniqely short.-sighted, atrocious, toxic government.
Are you sure you want that good of a relationship with those filthy communists? Heck of a mistake.
australia universities are now funded-along with major research programs -hungary’s return to communism has begun- you should be proud
