在全球产业结构不断重塑、人工智能高速发展、绿色经济日益崛起的时代，国际化人才培养正面临前所未有的挑战和机遇。11月16日，宁波诺丁汉大学举办“全球高等教育为何重要”中国、英国、马来西亚三校圆桌论坛，探讨国际化高等教育发展方向与未来人才培养路径。

宁波诺丁汉大学校长、中国科学院院士谢心澄，英国诺丁汉大学执行校长简·诺曼（Jane Norman）教授、宁波诺丁汉大学执行校长乔纳森·加里波第（Jon Garibaldi）教授以及诺丁汉大学马来西亚校区执行校长兼首席执行官大卫·菲茨帕特里克（David FitzPatrick）教授出席活动，与来自学术、工业、金融、科技与传媒等领域的杰出校友及合作伙伴共同分享并讨论对全球高等教育发展的见解。

简·诺曼教授表示：“25年前，我们在马来西亚设立首个海外校区，这个具有开创意义的决定使诺丁汉大学成为国际学术合作的先行者。随后，我们合作成立了宁波诺丁汉大学，并共同见证了其二十余年的发展与成就。诺丁汉大学始终关注经济、社会与环境变化对教育和科研提出的新要求，今天在宁波的探讨成果也会启发我们在英国和马来西亚的发展，这正是全球教育的体现。”

加里波第教授指出：“诺丁汉大学的全球布局充分体现了跨国教育的变革力量。我们的全球校友网络已超过 35 万人，他们在各个行业发挥着重要影响力，满足着传统与新兴产业对高技能人才的需求。国际化教育真正推动了个人成长、职业发展和全球视野的形成。”

论坛上，嘉宾们就人工智能时代的人才培养挑战、跨国教育与科研如何回应社会需求，以及大学在地缘政治与劳动力市场变革中的作用等议题展开热烈讨论。“人工智能”“就业能力”“全球视野”成为反复被提及的关键词，体现出校友和合作伙伴们对技术变革、全球人才竞争，以及国际局势变迁下一所国际化大学所承担责任与使命的高度关注。

与会者普遍认为，未来社会所需已不再是具备单一技能的人才，而是兼具跨学科知识、创新实践能力、数字素养与跨文化沟通力的复合型人才。嘉宾们强调，能够在多学科交汇处识别问题、整合资源并提出解决方案的人才，将成为驱动行业持续创新、塑造未来竞争力的关键力量。全球高等教育因此将走向更加开放、互联与协作的未来，而宁波诺丁汉大学也将在这一进程中继续发挥重要作用。

作为中国第一所中外合作大学，宁诺开创了中国高等教育与国外优质高等教育资源相结合的先河。谢心澄校长谈到：“在全球环境日益复杂与不确定的背景下，宁波诺丁汉大学作为连接东西方、传统与创新、理论与实践的‘富有生命力的桥梁’，其构建的模式比以往任何时候都更为重要。”

今年11月，学校正式发布《宁波诺丁汉大学战略规划：2030发展路线图》。战略围绕教育与学生体验、科研与知识交流、国际合作与声誉、人才与文化、可持续发展，以及财务与基础设施六大战略主题，充分发挥并进一步放大宁诺在诺丁汉大学全球体系中的独特优势，为未来五年的发展描绘了清晰蓝图。

宁诺合作与创新副校长张毓隆（Alain Chong）教授表示：“全球高等教育的核心在于搭建桥梁，连接不同的人、思想与文化。我们的目标不仅是培养具备专业能力的毕业生，更是塑造自信的国际化人才。通过与合作伙伴、校友及各界伙伴保持紧密联系，我们才能不断与世界同步演进，确保自身战略始终具有前瞻性和国际化视野。”

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."
