OUC and the University of Arizona (UA) established the OUC-UA Joint Research Center in 2019, with the shared vision of promoting academic research and educational opportunities through international collaboration. The center serves as a key platform for promoting academic and educational exchanges and collaboration between OUC and UA. It facilitates the routine communication and sharing of information and expertise between OUC and UA in all areas of mutual interests, and promotes educational, research, cultural, and other exchange opportunities for the benefits of students from both parties. It organizes meetings, conferences, symposiums, seminars, training programs and other exchange activities among faculty and administrative staff, and explores opportunities for collaborative research and educational projects and programs that serve the goal of continuing to expand and deepen the partnership between OUC and UA.
