新大当前合作

To-date, SMU has collaborations with leading Chinese institutions across research, undergraduate programmes, postgraduate programmes, and training & development.

迄今为止，与新大合作的中国领先的机构跨越了研究，本科课程，研究生课程，以及培训和发展。

(a) Research

（1）研究方面

In Research, the six schools at SMU have already published research papers on China and are also collaborating with Chinese universities and corporate partners on specific areas of research. To give you an idea of the varied research work done at SMU, let me give you a few examples. Our School of Accountancy focus its research on corporate governance whilst our Lee Kong Chian School of Business has done a fair bit of research on corporate philanthropy and finance. Our School of Law is undertaking research on the World Trade Organisation and business laws in China; and at the same time, our School of Economics is focusing on innovation, health and labour issues in China. In addition, the School of Information Systems is working on research in social media and big data transfer, while the School of Social Sciences is conducting research on social development and China’s international relations.

新大的六个学院已经在中国发表了研究论文，并且与中国的大学合作，并在特定的研究领域有企业合作伙伴。为了让大家了解到新大做的各种研究工作，我举几个例子。我们会计学院注重对公司治理的研究，而我们的李光前商学院定位于企业慈善事业和金融的研究。我们的法学院主要研究世界贸易组织和中国的商法，而经济学院则致力于研究中国的创新，卫生和劳工问题。此外，信息系统学院在做关于社会媒体和大数据迁移的研究，社会科学学院则正在开展关于社会发展和中国国际关系的研究。

SMU’s School of Social Sciences is working with Fudan University’s State Innovative Institute for Public Management and Public Policy Studies to set up a Joint Research

新加坡管理大学的社会科学院正在和复旦大学的国家创新研究所一起开展对公共管理和公共政策的研究，我们合建了一个发展研究中心。这个中心将开展关于中国社会发展的研究，包括农村改革、土地政策、城市化、人口迁徙和老龄化问题。这次新加坡管理大学首次和中国大学合建研究中心。

Centre on Development Studies. The Centre will conduct research on issues related to social development in China, including rural reforms, land policy, urbanisation, migration and ageing. This is SMU’s first joint research centre with a university in China.

新加坡教育部向社会科学学院提供了40万美元的资金，开展一个为期三年的项目，以便系统地研究最近几年横扫中国农村的一系列社会变化。

The School of Social Sciences has also received a $400,000 Tier 2 research grant from Singapore’s Ministry of Education to undertake a three-year research project to systematically examine a series of social changes that have been sweeping through rural China in recent years. The research will focus on policies in three areas: land management, agricultural modernisation, and social welfare.

该项调研将关注3个领域的政策：土地管理、农业现代化和社会福利。

SMU’s School of Information Systems has set up a research lab with Ping An Banking and Insurance Group to promote research, application and technology transfer of “Big Data”. This is the first research partnership between SMU and a major Chinese corporation. Our School of Information Systems will utilise its expertise in analytics, data analysis and data mining to provide a range of business solutions to Ping An. These include analysing user behaviour base on large-scale social media data, and establishing a customised information extraction and filtering system for better and timely social information tracking, filtering and responding.

新加坡管理大学的信息系统学院已经和中国平安银行和保险集团共同建立了一个研发实验室，用于推行对“大数据”的研究、应用和技术迁移。这是新加坡管理大学第一次和中国的关键公司建立合作伙伴关系。我们信息系统学院将利用他们在分析学、数据分析和数据挖掘方面专业性为平安集团提供了一揽子的商业解决方案。其中包括在大范围社会媒体数据基础上对用户行为的分析，以及建立一个定制的信息提取和过滤系统以便更好和及时地进行社会信息的跟踪。

Our faculty from the Lee Kong Chian School of Business has published a number of papers on China’s innovation landscape, its innovation capacity, intellectual property rights and patenting strategies. There are also studies and projects examining Corporate Social Responsibility in China.

我们的李光前商学院发表了一系列关于中国创新的背景、中国创新的容量、知识产权和专利政策方面的论文。我们也有关于中国企业的社会责任的研究和项目。

(b) Undergraduate Programmes

（2）本科学生项目

In undergraduate programmes, we want to provide SMU students with opportunities to network with some of the best brains in China and to be China-ready. To do this, SMU has inked new student exchange MOUs with top Chinese universities including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Southwest University of Finance and Economics.

在本科教学中，我们希望为新加坡管理大学的学生们提供与中国最好的精英建立联系的机会，并且让他们成为为中国而准备好的人。为此，新加坡管理大学与中国的顶尖学府建立了新的学生交换备忘录，如清华大学、北京大学、复旦大学、上海交通大学和西南财经大学。

In addition, SMU is working with a number of major corporations in different Chinese cities to provide our students with structured internships whilst the students are on exchange in China. We want to make the exchange programmes more attractive and enriching, and encourage our students to opt for Chinese universities for their exchange since this is coupled with internship opportunities. For a start, we are working with Singapore-based companies and MNCs with presence in China, before extending our collaboration to include Chinese companies.

此外，新加坡管理大学还和中国各个城市的主要企业建立了联系，这样，当我们的学生作为交换生来到中国的时候，就可以为他们提供结构化的实习机会。我们希望能提供更吸引人和更加丰富的交换生项目，既然有了实习的机会，那么我们就会鼓励学生们选择中国的大学作为他们的交换目的地。作为初级阶段，我们是在跟那些在中国的新加坡公司以及跨国公司合作，今后会逐渐把这种合作扩展到中国公司。

(c) Postgraduate Programmes

（3）研究生项目

In postgraduate programmes, our School of Information Systems had signed a Double-Masters agreement with Peking University’s School of Software and Microelectronics in June 2013 where students graduate with a Peking University Masters degree and a SMU MITB Master degree. The programme welcomed its first batch of 28 students in September this year.

The purpose is to broaden their outlook and deliver a holistic undergraduate educational experience that will develop them into broad-based, creative and entrepreneurial leaders for the knowledge-based economy.

For the past five to six years, SMU students have been involved in several community service projects in China. These include our undergraduates sharing with under-privileged students the basic business, innovation and accounting skills. SMU students have also reached out to a number of primary schools in rural China to develop confidence in the children, acquaint them with arts, and introduce them to other enrichment activities.

在过去的五六年中，新大学生在中国参与各种各样的社区服务，包括与贫困学生分享基本的商业、创新和财会知识和技能。新大的学生在众多的中国乡村小学，帮助那里的学生树立自信，欣赏艺术，带他们参与其他丰富多彩的活动。

Conclusion

结论

What I have just shared demonstrates a commitment by SMU to broaden and deepen our ties with China to encompass more areas of collaboration as we develop new strengths in research and education. We believe this will help contribute to knowledge creation and talent development for both Singapore and China.

正如我刚才与各位分享的，新大致力于拓宽与加深同中国的联系、推进多领域合作，这将是我们研究与教学的新优势。我们相信，这无论对于新加坡还是中国，都有助于知识的创新与人才的发展。

Today’s Forum is the first of what we hope would be many to be organised in the years to come. We plan to have such an annual gathering of minds, alternating between Singapore and China, and to discuss topical issues about China which are of interest and relevance. We hope that by working with our academic and corporate partners through the China Forum, research collaboration, exchange programmes, as well as training and development, SMU will be able to develop linkages, expertise and knowledge on China and Asia so that we become a partner of choice for universities, institutions and the business industry.

今天的论坛是个开始，在未来我们希望举办更多的这样的论坛。我们计划将中国论坛办成一年一度的，汇聚思想的，在新中两国轮流举办的，探讨中国相关话题的论坛。我们希望通过中国论坛与我们的学术与商业伙伴一起推进研究合作，交换项目，实习和发展计划。新大将发展连结中国和亚洲的专业和知识，使我们成为更多大学、机构和商业界的选择。
