在全球產業結構不斷重塑、人工智能高速發展、綠色經濟日益崛起的時代,國際化人才培養正面臨前所未有的挑戰和機遇。11月16日,寧波諾丁漢大學舉辦“全球高等教育為何重要”中國、英國、馬來西亞三校圓桌論壇,探討國際化高等教育發展方向與未來人才培養路徑。
寧波諾丁漢大學校長、中國科學院院士謝心澄,英國諾丁漢大學執行校長簡·諾曼(Jane Norman)教授、寧波諾丁漢大學執行校長喬納森·加里波第(Jon Garibaldi)教授以及諾丁漢大學馬來西亞校區執行校長兼首席執行官大衛·菲茨帕特里克(David FitzPatrick)教授出席活動,與來自學術、工業、金融、科技與傳媒等領域的杰出校友及合作伙伴共同分享并討論對全球高等教育發展的見解。

簡·諾曼教授表示:“25年前,我們在馬來西亞設立首個海外校區,這個具有開創意義的決定使諾丁漢大學成為國際學術合作的先行者。隨后,我們合作成立了寧波諾丁漢大學,并共同見證了其二十余年的發展與成就。諾丁漢大學始終關注經濟、社會與環境變化對教育和科研提出的新要求,今天在寧波的探討成果也會啟發我們在英國和馬來西亞的發展,這正是全球教育的體現。”
加里波第教授指出:“諾丁漢大學的全球布局充分體現了跨國教育的變革力量。我們的全球校友網絡已超過 35 萬人,他們在各個行業發揮著重要影響力,滿足著傳統與新興產業對高技能人才的需求。國際化教育真正推動了個人成長、職業發展和全球視野的形成。”

論壇上,嘉賓們就人工智能時代的人才培養挑戰、跨國教育與科研如何回應社會需求,以及大學在地緣政治與勞動力市場變革中的作用等議題展開熱烈討論。“人工智能”“就業能力”“全球視野”成為反復被提及的關鍵詞,體現出校友和合作伙伴們對技術變革、全球人才競爭,以及國際局勢變遷下一所國際化大學所承擔責任與使命的高度關注。
與會者普遍認為,未來社會所需已不再是具備單一技能的人才,而是兼具跨學科知識、創新實踐能力、數字素養與跨文化溝通力的復合型人才。嘉賓們強調,能夠在多學科交匯處識別問題、整合資源并提出解決方案的人才,將成為驅動行業持續創新、塑造未來競爭力的關鍵力量。全球高等教育因此將走向更加開放、互聯與協作的未來,而寧波諾丁漢大學也將在這一進程中繼續發揮重要作用。
作為中國第一所中外合作大學,寧諾開創了中國高等教育與國外優質高等教育資源相結合的先河。謝心澄校長談到:“在全球環境日益復雜與不確定的背景下,寧波諾丁漢大學作為連接東西方、傳統與創新、理論與實踐的‘富有生命力的橋梁’,其構建的模式比以往任何時候都更為重要。”
今年11月,學校正式發布《寧波諾丁漢大學戰略規劃:2030發展路線圖》。戰略圍繞教育與學生體驗、科研與知識交流、國際合作與聲譽、人才與文化、可持續發展,以及財務與基礎設施六大戰略主題,充分發揮并進一步放大寧諾在諾丁漢大學全球體系中的獨特優勢,為未來五年的發展描繪了清晰藍圖。

Nottingham tri-campus roundtable explores AI, global talent and the future of international higher education
On 16 November, the University of Nottingham Tri-Campus Roundtable Discussion, “Global Higher Education – Why Does It Matter”, was held at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), bringing together representatives from China, UK and Malaysia to explore the future direction of international higher education and new pathways for cultivating global talent.
Professor Xincheng Xie, President of UNNC and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; Professor Jane Norman, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nottingham; Professor Jon Garibaldi, Provost of UNNC; and Professor David FitzPatrick, Provost and CEO of the University of Nottingham Malaysia, attended the event. They were joined by distinguished alumni and stakeholders from academia, industry, finance, technology and the media, who shared their perspectives and insights on the evolution of global higher education.
Professor Jane Norman noted:
“Twenty-five years ago, we established our first overseas campus in Malaysia. This groundbreaking decision positioned the University of Nottingham as a pioneer in international academic collaboration. We later partnered to establish UNNC and have since witnessed more than two decades of achievements here. UoN remains at the cutting edge of understanding what the economies, societies and the environment demand of its educators and research communities. The insights from today's discussion in Ningbo will directly shape our thinking in Nottingham and Malaysia. This is global education in action.”
Professor Jon Garibaldi remarked:
“Our global footprint demonstrates the incredible transformative power of transnational education. We have a community of more than 350,000 alumni in influential positions all over the world, meeting the high skills needs of both traditional and emerging industries. International education has real power to drive personal growth, professional development and global awareness.”
During the forum, guests engaged in lively discussions on challenges in talent cultivation in the age of AI, how transnational education and research can respond to societal needs, and the role of universities amid geopolitical shifts and labour-market transformation. “AI”, “employability” and “global outlook” repeatedly emerged as key themes, reflecting the keen attention of alumni and stakeholders to technological change, global talent competition and the responsibilities of a global university in an evolving world.
Participants broadly agreed that future societies will require not single-skill professionals, but versatile talents with interdisciplinary knowledge, innovative and practical capabilities, digital literacy and intercultural communication skills. Guests emphasised that those who can identify issues at the intersection of disciplines, integrate resources and develop effective solutions will be crucial in driving sustained innovation and shaping future competitiveness. Global higher education will therefore become more open, interconnected and collaborative, a direction in which UNNC is poised to play an increasingly significant role.
As the first Sino-foreign university in China, UNNC pioneered the integration of Chinese higher education with high-quality international resources.
President Xie highlighted:
“In a world of increasing complexity and geopolitical uncertainty, the model we have built here is more vital than ever. We are not merely a Sino-British university in China,we are a living bridge. A bridge between East and West, between tradition and innovation, between the theoretical and the applied.”
In November, the University officially released the UNNC Strategic Plan: Roadmap to 2030. Centred on six strategic themes, which are education and student experience, research and knowledge exchange, global engagement and reputation, people and culture, sustainability, and finance and infrastructure. The Plan aims to leverage and amplify UNNC’s unique strengths within the University of Nottingham’s global family, providing a clear blueprint for the next five years.
Professor Alain Chong, Vice Provost for Global Engagement and Partnerships at UNNC, commented:
"Global higher education is about building bridges, connecting people, ideas, and cultures. Our goal is to develop graduates who are not only strong in their disciplines but also confident global citizens. By staying closely connected with our partners, alumni, and stakeholders, we can keep evolving with the world and ensure our strategy remains relevant, responsive, and truly international."
