New Asia College and Yale University have been jointly organising this exchange programme since 1993. Major objective of the programme is to enhance students’ understanding of social, cultural and scientific issues in the two regions. The exchange includes academic seminars, symposium, visits to local organisations/groups and other activities related to the particular theme for exchange.
