The Sino-UK Education Dialogue Series was set up in 2006. The dialogues allow distinguished UK university leaders to discuss and debate issues in higher education with their Chinese counterparts.

Our objectives in organising the dialogue series are:

• to present current issues and developments in the UK higher education sector;

• to provide an opportunity to share views and experiences between the UK and China.
